measurement discrepancy between F360 and Meshmixer

[rondennis]

A "z" measurement of 60 mm in F360 imports to Meshmixer (Vectric Cut3D also) as 54 mm. I need that 6 mm, any suggestions? Should I scale it up in F360?

Hi @rondennis 

What file type are you using? If you're using STL body export, what settings are you using when exporting?

Cheers,

Using stl export from F360, what and where are the export settings (duh :-)?

Make sure your xyz axis are swapped (rotated).

Try a test with an asymmetrical object.

Please attach your file.

+1 to what @hfcandrew said!

@rondennis Try exporting by right clicking the top level component -> save as mesh. That gives you more export options like detail level.

Any thought as to which of the four "save as mesh" options I should choose?

[karina.harper]

Which format? Depends on your usage, 3MF is a newer one that I hear is pretty great.

I doubt that detail level has anything to do with a basic measurement but thanks anyway.

Oh Boy.

Not knowing how to Export $10

I apologize.
