Stitch command not selecting the unstitched bodies

[thevojtiseks]

Hi, I have a f3d part I imported when I look at the part is says there are 2096 bodies unstitched. When I try to select the part to stitch it will not select the part. Ive looked in my selection settings and it's set to select all. If I just select the part it turns blue, but I don't seem to be able to select it for certain functions. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi @thevojtiseks 

Could you please share the design to the next replay?

You can File>Export to *.f3d.

Sure here it is. Thanks very much for taking a look at this

The video will show how to stitch the surfaces together.  I will not send the model back since you will probably want to repair the four (4) surfaces that are failing to stitch.

John, Thank you so much, very helpful ! much appreciate the quick response !

Hi John, It looks like the surface is quite coarse and I'm wondering how to refine it to something smoother to creat my part from. I'm new to CAD so bumbling around a little at the moment, I was thinking that refining the mesh and smoothing function might be the way to go, but I'm having difficulty selecting the part for any mesh functions, and I'm wondering if I need to do something to make it editable for this to happen ? Thanks very much

Do I need to tesselate the part - assuming it's already a surface ?

I am not sure how to smooth out the surface.  The model probably came from a Mesh and was converted to surfaces but even that I cannot be sure about.  I will play around with it but please do not get your hopes up.
