Problems Converting STL to Solid Body

[kolonick9]

Hello, I am having a very hard time converting an STL file to a solid body in fusion 360. I have upgraded my subscription. I watched multiple tutorials on how to accomplish this with no luck. I also tried to use Meshmixer as well. Any additional help would be appreciated.

Hi @kolonick9,

Can you attach the .stl that you are facing problem converting to Solid Body, Please attach it here to a Reply.

Thank you for the response. I tried to upload the STL but I keep receiving this error

Correct the highlighted errors and try again.

• The attachment's p365 backstrap meshmixer 1.stl content type (application/vnd.ms-pkistl) does not match its file extension and has been removed.

If you zip it first, you will have no issue.

Attached is the compressed file.

What the heck is this model of?  I converted it to a solid and it is attached.  Why were you having issues, it is pretty straight forward.

Thank you sir. I'm not sure why I was having such a problem. Initially I was receiving errors on facet count. When I reduced the facet count the edges became jagged. I'm new to this'd doing my best to learn. It is part of the backstrap area of a pistol. I wanted to be able to manipulate it and 3d print. I opened the file you sent me in fusion. it seems to have a very high facet count. I'm sure there is a way to smooth this model out to better manipulate it.
