Show all dimensions from a STL file in each plane Ox, Oy and Oz

kiet.nguyen.1601 — Thu, 24 Jun 2021 15:39:49 GMT

Is there any way to do this? I need to print out the dimensions of some files from the Internet. Thanks in advance!

stl is generally rubbish - no curves, only planar triangles.

I would probably only use as reference in creating proper high-quality geometry.

Can you Attach an example *.stl file here?

You have to convert the Model into (Mesh to Brep)... Than you can give Dimension to the File..

Here is the files, I already knew the point-to-point measure method, I just want to know that if there is any way to show multiple sizes at the same time that's all xD

In mature software like Autodesk Inventor Professional - you can create dimensioned detail drawings directly from the stl mesh.

In Fusion I think you will have to model the geometry - fortunately this is simple geometry to recreate.

I just did a couple of the dimensions for illustration of the Inventor Professional drawing.

Creating a Drawing Sheet can be a good choice for you after you convert the Model from Mesh to Brep...

can you Post image of an example drawing created in Fusion?

Wow thank you for your support, here is the last .stl file that I need the sizes, can you help me one last bit? Thank you again...

It's easy to get the dimensions of an stl model by using the mesh tools.

Note: In the screencast, sketch2 and sketch3 planes are not at the center of the circle in sketch1, so those dimensions in sketch2 and 3 are not accurate. Just project the circle from sketch1 to the other sketches.

Hello,

Use the Analysis > Units/Dimensions menu of Meshmixer:
