Mesh Menu: General Tools

This group of functions contains general tools for mesh operations.

The following functions are available in this group:

Composite on Mesh

Create composite curves by selecting mesh facet edges. The created contour can be used as input for any solid design, surfacing or mesh design operation.

Copy to Mesh

Copy selected geometry to a mesh object.

Cut / Divide

Cut or divide mesh objects.

Offset / Shell Mesh

Offset, Shell or Extend an entity, producing a mesh result.

Point Cloud to Mesh

Create a mesh object from a point cloud.

Remesh

Remesh an existing mesh object to achieve greater equilateral triangulation. This can help to fix or improve mesh objects and also makes them ready to be used in FEA calculations.

Smooth Mesh

Smooth a mesh object or selected facets to remove sharp edges and simplify the object.

Stitch Mesh

Stitch open objects into a single Mesh object. This stitches facets and faces that are separate objects into one Mesh object. At least one of the selected objects must be a Mesh object.

Unite Mesh

Unite selected objects into one mesh object.

Volume Drive

Drive a volume along a spine. This function creates the volume formed by a 3D object (for example, an NC cutter) which is driven along a 3D path (3-axes).

The selected object may be either mesh or solid. The created object is a mesh object.

Volume Text

Create volumetric text on the part.
