Shell entity?

I'm trying to import a .stl file from an inspection system. Using the default settings, it comes in as a "shell entity" with about 40,000,000 polygons, but I don't see that I can do anything with it. I'd like to create splines by sectioning it, but I don't see any way? If I try to import it as a sheet body KC locks up and I have to crash out.

I sent the polygons to Zvika Greenberg and he turned them into a regular surface. But I don't remember which program he used.

I do remember that it was possible to convert a polygon mesh to a surface back then, and I was using FastSurf at the time.. Reply \| Quote \| Subscribe to post
