The level of success is limited Often if its a simple part and refuses to convert to a solid i use the composite imported mesh or group of faces as a template to model a new part from scratch.ĭepending on the part complexity this can be time consuming but at least you have complete control. Taking straight into inventor isnt possible although i believe there is a plugin called mesh enabler or similar. Gw2 ranger gearįirst thing i do is run them thru netfabb, some of the STLs you find online are not the best quality to say the least. I don't wont directly import the files what will be the best. But i wonder how other people edit her files like bigfilsing.

Once you download it, open the stl into inventor and on the toolbar where all the actions appear extrusions, sketches, etc Thank you Phil for the referal. After some googling, the left plane is the data panel which opens up the projects and the samples.ĭouble click on any of the projects and you should be able to see the upload button. I also tried to use the new design from file but it still doesn't work. I just downloaded and installed fusion and Im having trouble trying to import the stl file in.

Use it as your design program instead of Inventor with a full or student license, or use it with a student license and just as a convertor for STL files, it's up to you. If you are used to Inventor, Fusion feels very logical and has a quick learning curve. Fusion is an evolution on Inventor, and can import and work with STL files directly. Please take a look at Fusion and the A online control panel. The best way I found is to use "Mesh to solid" program, convert the file to 3Dm, and import it to inventor, no hassle, file ready to edit. Then export to a sat file and import to Inventor. On new version, I see now this is build in, and works better to some extend as in it recognizes the flat surfaces, meaning you can pick up eges etc. I found it so annoying I don t bother changeing models anymore.

This tools gives you a model to work with, but it's all triangulated and you can t pick up edges etc.

Do you now how to import or convert it for Inventor? Meanwhile, on my old InventorI had to download a plug-in called "Mesh Analyzer for inventor". Some times I need to edit some stl files to do a nice print.
