Borrow Inventor's .stl to solid body plugin
If you could do that I'd completely switch over from Inventor, 100%. That feature and legacy assemblies are the only reason I still use the program at all.
Plus it'd kind of help serve as a conversion between those two types of objects in fusion. It's amazingly helpful just to get loops and dimensions from geometry using this tool as well.
Yeah there's a 30, 60, or 90 day trial available when you first start the program instead of entering a serial number, can't remember which though. I get inventor free since I'm a student.
Ive never used inventor of the Mesh Enabler plugin before, but I have always struggled to get STL files converted to a solid body with Solidworks. If Fusion had a surefire way to convert mesh models to Solid Bodies, that would be fantastic.
I wish I could vote again and again and again for this. It just needs one more vote to get to the magic ten. Let's hope it's in the mesh work space! Apparently due around June/July!
Hi @Anonymous, and others who have commented. We will be adding a lot of Mesh functionality in the coming months. Some of that will include the ability to drive analytic surfaces from a mesh body. I won't be a one push button solution but it will be very useful.
@Anonymous, the idea is to make is as simple as possible, a combination of automation and user input.
If you have some examples of the type of work you have done in the past and the steps you took to convert it, I'm sure my team would be interested in the feedback.
Fusion does actually provide a simple Mesh-to-BRep conversion tool. It's not immediately accessible for designs with design history (i.e. timeline designs). You'll need to either be in a history-free design, or create a Base Feature in a history-based design.
For a history-based design, you'll need to do the following:
1. In the Model workspace, go to Create > Create Base Feature
2. Insert > Insert Mesh, and insert your STL/OBJ file
3. Modify > Mesh > Mesh to BRep, select the mesh body, and hit OK - this does the conversion to solid/surface geometry
4. Click Finish Base Feature to go back into the history-based modeling environment
(if you're not in a history-based design, just ignore steps 1 and 4!)
This will do a conversion fairly similar to the Inventor plugin. One difference is that the Inventor plugin will try to merge co-planar faces (giving you fewer faces on the resultant solid), whereas Fusion's Mesh-to-BRep tool will just convert faces 1-to-1. However, assuming this behaviour is what you are after, we'll look into whether we can offer this behaviour in the Fusion tool as well.
As Colin mentions, we have big plans for mesh editing and conversion in Fusion; would be good to see some examples of the kinds of mesh data you're trying to work with, and what you'd like to do with it, so we can make sure we're headed in the right direction 🙂
The problem is most people have stl file that are triangular not quad sided.
This means you have to find a outside program to convert to a quad mesh then import to fusion (10,000 only) then do the converting.
I have tried doing this time and agian. With my files they just come out horrible. Even simplifying them in mesh mixer or the alike makes the results look like a train wreck.
I honestly would not care at all of the convention tock all night.
I just want to cam up the part I paid to have scanned. Or indeed the customers that bring me scan files!
As I mentioned to Colin. You are more than welcome to take a go at these files of mine. Just let me know how I can get hold of you!
Thanks for the reply! Please do get in touch at jake (dot) fowler (at) autodesk (dot) com, would be very interested in seeing the kind of models you're working with. Rest assured, the workflow you describe is exactly what we'd like to integrate directly into Fusion.
(For the time being, I've gotten the best results by using Memento for the quad conversion - have you tried that out?)
