That was exactly what I was looking for. Thankyou!
Great!
Cool , thank you 👍👍
Спасибо огромное! Лучшие видео которое видел по работе с stl в солиде!!!
Большое спасибо
Great tutorial thank you
Glad you liked it
good thank you
Thanks
Welcome
❤
It seems like the work process of Geomagic Design X, which is quite cumbersome as well. It would be great if there were AI tools related to reverse feature modeling that could emerge😂
I hope there will be some sooner. 😊 Anyway, I'm happy even for these ones because ten years ago, importing STL in SW was an extremely hard and sometimes impossible process.
Very good
Thanks
Great
Is it possible to convert only one face instead of the entire body for more complex conversions
Yes it is, you can check in this video ruclips.net/video/D2Elk7Eu6K4/видео.html
When I reach the Surface Extraction step, I select a flat surface and select the plane icon, I get an actual plane show up. My selected surface does not disappear, and I do not get a list like you do in the video. Is there a setting I may be missing?
Normally there is a slight delay until it converts, but if it don't do it at all there is something wrong: either the face you pick is not planar or there is some bug. Is it happening with every face or just some? Is it only on planar or happens to other types too? Also try with BSpline - the last option, it should be able to convert it.
hi, I need to modify a STL in solidworks 2022. Do you know the best workflow to do it? I dont have this add in.
Hi, if you don't have the add in you should stick to the standard import options. You won't have SW features after it, but at least you'll have editable mesh body. You can check how to do it in this video ruclips.net/video/EDDUsci15ac/видео.html
@@DWorkshop ok thank you :)
Hello, I have a question about your procedure. When I reach the Surface Extraction step, I select a flat surface and select the plane icon, I get an actual plane show up. My selected surface does not disappear, and I do not get a list like you do in the video. Is there a setting I may be missing? Thank you for the video and your help.
Can you send me some screenshots in LinkedIn. I'm currently on vacation and have a bit slow response, but will have a look as soon as possible Check out Danute Petrova-Nikolova’s profile on LinkedIn bg.linkedin.com/in/danutep
I have yhe same issue, did you solved it ?
@@matiasnjackson So my answer is sort of. The part I had was quite a bit more complicated than the example. When I selected each face, it did not disappear like in the video. But it did create the plane for the selected face. But because nothing was disappearing it became quite difficult to work on. And if you have an error, you cannot just back up and fix it. You have to start all over from the beginning. I got so frustrated I ended up just modeling the part from scratch. I hope this helps you.
@dnvm84 you don't have to start over again, you can finish to where you are ready and you'll end up with a lot of submeshes and extracted faces. From this point you can start the surface wizard for each submesh individually and before doing so, to hide all that is giving you troubles for visibility.
@@DWorkshop Hello, but if you select something wrong, I did not find a way to unselect it. And if you hit the "Back" button, you lose all of the work up to that point.
Where do I send a suggestion for improvement? It is VERY difficult to see what colors things are in this tool as you move around a part.
Very good point I totally agree. I think you can post your suggestion in the SolidWorks forum.
I believe you can create a custom color palette for all SW features and tools in Customization Settings
@@braydenwrede8617I have and they still appear very muddy, making it difficult to identify surfaces at angles to one another.
Is there a way to do a conversion for Blender files if it’s exported as an STL
Any STL can be converted, but more organic shapes will be harder. Check also this video ruclips.net/video/rh2cudh6wZg/видео.html
how do i remove that mesh ICON on my surface-imported1
I don't understand what you're asking about. Can you explain more?
Surface wizard is grayed out for me
ScanTo3D is not available in SolidWorks Standard. If you are with Professional or Premium and ScanTo3D tools are still greyed out, you probably imported the wrong way. You can check this video too ruclips.net/video/f6wyrUZ_TE8/видео.html
@@DWorkshop thanks a lot!
