Thanks for the scan to 3D guide! I was under the impression tha you could not work with .stls. Your guide helped me prove that wrong! I can't get it to work on .stl file that were not created in SW though. Thanks again for the guide.
Joe.

Neil,

In this example, the fitted planes were parallel to one another. The STL file that I started with was an exported file from SolidWorks, so that helped it quite a bit.

If you are working with point cloud or scanned data, there is a chance that fitted planes may not be parallel. Ways around this would be to extract faces on half the model and then mirror it. The split plane step in the surface wizard helps with this. You can always adjust fitted surface bodies after finishing the surface wizard using the Move/Copy command.

If the scan is off axis, you can adjust that as part of the mesh preparation wizard. Even if you open existing mesh data, it can still be run through the mesh prep wizard.

Thanks again for reading the blog.

Best Regards,

Ricky Jordan

ya very good..you’ll wear you fingers out soon )
I am curious to know if in this example the fitted planes ended up being exactly parallel and symmetric and if that is still the case with some slight noise/distortion in the mesh? Can you specify at creation time that you want a particular face to be parallel to another one?Also ;o)if the scan had been a bit off SW axis or your own rotation adjustment was say 0.25 degree off did the fit up still work well?
