[To...] Posted Friday at 02:43 PM Share Posted Friday at 02:43 PM (edited) I have a model that was an .stl file and was painfully converted to a .stp file, but is useless to me in Calypso. I have tried healing and it fails to complete process. Any thoughts? Edited Friday at 02:44 PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ma...] Posted Friday at 03:42 PM Share Posted Friday at 03:42 PM Have you tried conversion in Fusion? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ze...] Posted Friday at 06:24 PM Share Posted Friday at 06:24 PM Hi Tom, I don't know if it's possible to convert polygon-based geometry to unfaceted/smooth surfaces directly. I've never had any luck with STL files other than for 3D printing. It's a pretty old file type. If you figure something out, please post it. Looks like your Patriots are back in the saddle. Should be a fun weekend of football. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has always been the holy grail for scanned 3d files but it does not currently exist (to my knowledge). I have tried the same, with no luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Je...] Posted Saturday at 04:56 AM Share Posted Saturday at 04:56 AM The mesh modeling tools in Solidworks allow surface creation from polygons, but it's laborious and probably not a solution here. In similar situations, I've had to redrawn the entire CAD, but I sometimes import the existing STL into Solidworks as a reference to sketch around. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ch...] Posted 27 minutes ago Share Posted 27 minutes ago (edited) I've also encountered this phenomenon frequently with STEP data involving freeform surfaces. It's usually only the curved outer/surface area. Edited 26 minutes ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
