STL settings compared with Fusion360

Anonymous — Thu, 29 Nov 2018 18:22:56 GMT

Hi all,

Hope someone can help I have 2 identical photo one from Inventor and one from Fusion360. I need to work on a STL file in Inventor but i can't see the geometry right.. it's much better in Fusion 360, are the some settings or colores I can change, so I get the same result in Inventor?

The optimal would be this. this is from MeshMixer

Change display to: shaded with edge. It'll be slow.

Have you run AutodeskMeshEnabler on the geometry and converted to solid or composite surface?

Once you have converted you should be able to apply any Appearance properties.

Hi @JDMather,

I have solved this:-)

This setting do all the job, I have tried all down under but not this one:-)

So another question, how good are Inventor to clean a mesh?

Not too good.

I use 3D Scan software to make it a solid first before using it in Inventor. At least I can use it to cut/intersect another solid.
