I am currently attempting to edit a preexisting STL file and stretch the black line to the red line, removing the angular taper and turning it into a straight line. The model is an armor piece for a leg, and oviously it is not realistic to an ordinary leg, and I need it to be wider without widening the entire model and making it look oddly wide at the knee point near the top. Pretty novice here, any and all help would be appreciated. Thanks!
How to select a line on an STL and stretch it?
Fusion is probably not the tool for doing this. An STL is a mesh format. Fusion has limited mesh editing capabilities, and almost no mesh geometry creation commands. You could use the mesh as a reference, and model this shape natively in Fusion, using surface or maybe T-Splines.
