Introduction

This command creates a shape from a mesh object.

Use

  1. Select the mesh object.
  2. Choose Part Create shape from mesh ... from the top menu.
  3. A popup-menu will ask for the tolerance for sewing shape (default value: 0,1)
  4. A shape from the mesh object is created as a seperate new object.

Limitations

There will be no analyzing or validating of the mesh object.
Analyzing and repairing of the mesh (if needed) should be done manually before conversion.
Appropriate tools are available in the Mesh workbench.

Notes

After creation of a shape, it may be useful to use the Convert to solid and Refine shape tools.
