Help Splitting STL for Multicolor Printing

[Anonymous]

Hello!

I am trying to find a way to split certain parts of an STL model so I can print them in different colors. I can do this with MeshMixer, but I can't find a way to do this when the area has an empty spot in the middle of it. For example, a circle or a zero "0".

Is this possible with Fusion 360 somehow or does anyone have a recommendation?

Thanks!

Haven't been able to figure this out still and thought I would post back.

I'm not sure Fusion 360 is the best product for this, but thought it may have the capability.

Okay, here is the file.

I am trying to split the number 50 from the rest and make it into separate bodies. I know this is a simple model, but I will be doing more complex stuff in the future and the same method should apply for future projects.

Here's how to do it for this stl:

You would probably get a better looking model by creating this directly in Fusion 360.

For more complex models, the mesh tools located on the Sketch menu would work better.  There is a limit on how many facets can be converted to Breps.
