RE:convert .STL
Not a quick and easy routine. Not that I know of anyway. But I sure as heck wish there were. I have a desk top laser scanner and I'd love to be able to easily convert some scans to editable CAD.

You could "trace" the body, snapping to the nodes as you go, to make a 3D wire frame model. Then convert that to a solid body. But that's rather laborious. And might not be as precise as you might want it. Depending on the accuracy of your scan.

As I understand it, there is some 3rd party software that can do it. But I hear it rather expensive.
