Shell Enhancement

Shell Enhancement

I get frustrated when building solid models and I cannot shell them after it becomes too complicated of a model. I end up having to use a different program like Blender to shell out the geometry. Is there a way to implement a blender shelling ability to Fusion?

Shelling in a solid modeling CAD application and in a mesh modeler are two rather different things in terms of accuracy and the underlying math and algorithms.

 @TrippyLighting would be a great idea if Fusion can solve this issue or develop some sort of algorithm to adopt meshes into solids... I think it's a common problem for a lot of non-everyday CAD users.

 

Meshmixer tries to be this solution but is not currently a choice as it has stopped successfully working for me.. it shells the model inside but if I want any kind of Boolean subtraction it fails,  Maybe there is a way to implement more user friendly option within Fusion?

I would love to see a "visual failure" message which area causes the fail, so I can make a work around.

The same should be for fillets and champfers too. CATIA V5 has this feature and it really helps !!!

@Anonymous Mesh to solids sounds a great idea until you see the price of the software. Take a look at Geomagic Design X, around $20k.
