Need help - Modeling an AFO over a leg scan - T-spline conversion results in solid .stl file when I export to Netfabb

[marlene77YYX]

Hello, 

I am very new to this.. watched a 7 year old video (https://youtu.be/XT0p7tVqUfA?si=d78i0vAgx_3i8LeK) on how to model an AFO and got all the way to exporting the .stl however when Adding it to Netfabb to print the part, it comes through as a solid part. 

I have attached the fusion file:  https://a360.co/3IaeGYT

Note that I opened the Leg Scan .stl, went to Form, created a cylinder, sized accordingly, moved accordingly, selected Pull on the Body which produced the anatomical shape, then Edit Form to adjust the shape to sit just off the scan.

Thanking you in anticipation 🙂

Can you attach the .stl?

Hi Andrew, here we go 🙂

Thank you Andrew, just worked it out.. have to Covert T-spline to Brep, then the new body 'Create Mesh' - the .stl file is perfect. Really appreciate you reaching out.  Take care, Marlene

Yep that's it.

Your .stl is just a zero thickness surface. Not a 'watertight':

I design AFO's and orthotics and dental models directly in Meshmixer. You get much more control and accuracy.
