Ricky,

A lot of it really depends on the geometry you are trying to modify and what specifically you are trying to accomplish. If you are making some basic tweaks such as adding/removing holes, adding draft, fillet reworking, & moving faces then SolidWorks is a very effective tool for the job. There comes a point when the modifications become so numerous that you are often times better off remodeling the part from scratch. The biggest improvement I would like to see in SolidWorks is some re-parametrization tools that allows for more direct editing when you get an imported file that has internal accuracy issues. This is where you see move face and delete face commands sometimes fail. I think the Move Face and some of the other direct editing tools could use some improvement in from a UI standpoint as well. Ricky Van,

For those who work mainly with imported geometry is SolidWorks the wrong tool to use? Ricky, it sounds like it’s really a major hassle to work with imported geometry in Solidworks.

When I work with imported data I often use a combination of Delete Face, Move Face, Surface Fill, Boundary Surface, and a number of other surface generation tools. Instant3D is currently intended to be used primarily on SolidWorks models with parametric features. (The exception is Fillet recognition with FeatureWorks active.) Many in the SolidWorks Community believe that direct editing features added in future releases will fall under the Instant3D banner.
