Insert Mesh From Solid

The Mesh From Solid command enables you to convert solids to meshes.

• Select the solids you would like to convert. The preview of the meshed entities is displayed.
  
  
  
  
• You are enabled to navigate forward and backward among the selected entities using the arrows of the common ThinkDesign navigator.
  
  
• Once positioned on the listed entity:
  
  • An automatic zoom is done on it.
    
  • Under Statistics the numbers of nodes and triangles of the current meshed entity are displayed.
    
  • The Printability checks are performed: manifold, open.
    
  • Under Options, it is possible to show/hide the current selected entity and its mesh preview.
    
  
  
• Under More Options, change the tessellation parameters used to mesh the selected entities.
  If Use current tessellation is checked, the selected entity will be meshed using its tessellation parameters. Otherwise the user can tune the following parameters:
  
  • Tolerance of tessellation.
    
  • Show discontinuities (the tessellation to create the mesh takes into account the cusps on the solid).
    
  • Maximum edge length of the tessellation.
    
  • Skip planar surfaces (to apply the maximum edge length only on curved surfaces and not on the planar ones).
    
  
  When a tessellation parameter has been changed, Update Mesh using the button on top of the selection list.
