Without the new Slicing tool, this STL import would have been much Into a Solid Body, we can create additional features like cut extrudes andįillets. Creating additional features on the Solid Body rear airplane fin. Need to adjust this value to get the best possible results (see Figure 7).įigure 17. However, in most 3D texture applications, you will Then this option won’t really come into play (since the transition back to the Texture image is all black, and black represents the valley of your 3D texture, Is from your 3D texture back into the original model. Maximum Element Size-This controls how smooth the transition Processing time of your 3D texture feature. Increasing this will create a significant increase in the This is a good setting to increase once you have tested all Texture Refinement-This controls how smooth the final Your 2D image represent the peaks, or whether black areas of your 2D image WHITE up– BLACK down-This controls whether the white areas of

I then went down to Texture Offset Distance and specified a Out by ticking the checkbox for any surfaces that have a black and white 2D Choosing the checkmark for the 2D texture, and selecting a height of 0.25in.

In the PropertyManager, click Calculate.Figure 6.

Use the Extend surface size, setting to specify the extension distance of the surface body that fits the selected facets and geometric shape.

For example, if you are attempting to create a plane, and there are three facets, one of which is at a slight angle to the other two, then a loose tolerance will include the angled facet in the plane, while a tight tolerance will exclude it. Note: Moving the slider left loosens the tolerance for the facets, while moving the slider right tightens the tolerance.

Adjust the Facet tolerance slider to include fewer mesh facets in the surface you are creating.

Painting adjacent facets with the Paint Select tool.

Using the Box Select or Lasso Select tools.

In the graphics area, select a group of facets to define the area of the surface you want to create.

You can select either a Planar, Spherical, Cylindrical, or Conical surface.

For surface type, select the type of surface you want to create.

Clear Dynamic Help if you do not want to display detailed help.

Go to Insert > Surface > Surface From Mesh.

To Create surfaces from meshed faces, take these steps: Imported *.stl file in SOLIDWORKS is meshed/tessellated. Go to Tools > Options > Import, and under File Format, select STL/OBJ/OFF/PLY/PLY2 and click Import as Graphics Body. Now if you open a *.stl file, you will see the file look like the below image: To import tessellated models into SOLIDWORKS, we need to setup the opening format.

Because the feature only creates surfaces, the recommended workflow is to trim the surfaces to form The tool may not be appropriate for highly irregular meshes such as those created from a 3D scan of an organic shape. The Surface From Mesh tool works best on mesh files with regular prismatic geometry such as planes, cylinders, cones, and spheres. In SOLIDWORKS 2017 a *.stl file could be converted into solid body, however, it will still be tessellated. New in SOLIDWORKS 2018 is the Surface From Mesh tool, it lets you manipulate a mesh object that you imported from an *.stl, *.obj, *.off, *.ply, *.ply2 or *.3MF file to create surfaces and solids. Round faces will have more segments than flat faces. All faces are broken into some triangular faces. When a *.stl or *.obj file is imported into SOLIDWORKS, the 3D model opens in a tessellated or meshed form.
