Mesh to BRep...where did it go?

Very quick question...I can not see where the Convert Mesh to BRep function went?  I can "create base feature" and import an .STL file that way...but I the convert feature is only available in the "Create Form" environment, and then only to T-Spline?

 

Thanks!

I see that that would work if starting with a T-spline body, but I have imported a Mesh body, and desire to convert it to a BRep.  Right clicking on the mesh body does not offer a convert to BRep option....?

Would you happen to be in a Parametric file, or a Direct?  The convert mesh to BRep option is shown in our Direct modeling enviornment, or through leveraging the Base Feature option inside of a Parametric file.

I hope this clears up any confusion for you.  We are actively working to improve our mesh capabilities and the disconnect we have in our environments.

That's it!  Once I right clicked on the base feature to "edit" it, I was able to see the Convert command.  Thanks!

 

Yes, the environment is something I have seen brought up ion other forum posts....some people really like the adaptive menus that change based on what environment you are in.....and some really dislike menu options disappearing, only to reappear if you happen to know how to get back to enable them.  But my question is solved, thanks!
