What is the source of the original geometry - why do you have mesh features?

Did you import an stl from some other source?

More information is needed.

 

I suspect that you will need the AutodeskMeshEnabler add-in.

Attach your file here.

This is a function of Mesh Enabler. I want to try this function, but there is only one meshfeature in the stl file I exported.

I want to get a stl file with this structure. When I import the file into the part, I can see that it contains a mesh group. The mesh group contains multiple meshfeatures. So I don't have any files available, I want to get a way to make this kind of stl file, or get a stl file with this structure directly.

Where did you get that image if you don't have a file?

Who does have the file trailing wheel_asm.ipt?  Can you request that they give you that file?

If you don't have the file - make up a dummy file that exhibits the behavior of your Design Intent.

Hi! If I understood how Inventor mesh export correctly, it does not honor the grouping. All geometry within the file (iam or ipt) is exported as one mesh. If you need to group, you will need to isolate the mesh and export it as one STL file at a time.

Many thanks!
