Convert form to mesh?

[joshpigford]

I created a Form using the "Create Form" tool, now I'd like to use the Mesh toolset to reduce it to create a low poly effect.

But I can't figure out how to make the form available to the Mesh tools.

Hi @joshpigford,

Save the form as STL

Open a new design, import the STL

edit it with the mesh workspace

Reduce Mesh

I haven't tried this workflow myself, but I'll give it a try now, just to make sure it works.

Yeah, that works.  Here's a screencast.  Note that you have to turn on the Mesh preview feature:

Also, I noticed that if I reduced the mesh too much, it started chopping out the boundary, so you want to avoid that.  

This is actually a pretty clever way to get to that kind of a low-poly look.  I'll have to remember this for later.
