Mesh problems!

[graham.a.robinson]

Hi there,

In the picture below, you can see that the file I have inserted in to F360 has a quilted appearance - where lines between panels should be sharp, they are rounded and badly defined. This seems to happen regardless of the file type (obj, stl etc). The model is a quad mesh.

Please can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Is there a different way I should be inserting this, or is there something I can do to recover the original shape of the model. The model displays perfectly in other programs such as Meshlab and Remake.

Many thanks in advance.

You probably want to choose "flat shading" for your mesh display type in preferences:

and make sure that "Flat Shaded" is chosen here:

Thanks for the reply. That didn't seem to work unfortunately.

Hi,

I tried inserting a horse statue from ReMake inside Fusion 360 and the result was a little different, the reason for that is that Fusion is a quad based program

There a way I think that might get you better results, try to convert the mesh into a t-spline body and edit it

Another thing that you can see in Jeff's screenshot is that he has Autotringulare meshes turned off.

If that mesh is really a quad mesh, as Speed said, try to convert it into a T-Spline.

Converting to T-splines seems to have got me most of the way there, thanks!

It looks like a lot of the surfaces don't join up properly or have rounded off corners, so I have tried subdividing to get it closer to the original shape. Is that the right way to go, or is there a better way?

If you want the sharp edges, then use the crease command

Hard to say without the model.
