Usefulness of mesh / plane intersection curves

scott.nortman · ‎06-10-2020

Hi

I've been able to import a 3d mesh from a 3d scan, and then I am able to perform a mesh / plane intersection to create a auto generated sketch from the intersection. However, I am struggling with finding the true value to this as I can not select the generated curves to do anything useful, such as for reference points, etc. Am I missing something? Can the mesh section sketches be useful for anything?

You'd usually use them to create sketch geometry by using 'Fit Curves to Mesh Section'.

If this answers your question please mark the thread as solved as it can help others find solutions in the future.

If you need to know how to offset threads for 3D printing then I've created a guide here which you might find useful.
If you would like to send me a tip for any help I've provided or for any of my software applications you've found useful, you can do this via my Ko-Fi page here.
