spittle Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Can this be done? The model needs to eventually end up in Solidworks. I won't need to edit it but to be able to create a section from it, it needs to be a solid. If I can get it to be a 3D solid .dwg then I know I can import into Solidworks. Currently I only have meshes. Edit - Just want to add - I have recieved 3D models in both DXF and STL format. An STL imported in Solidworks produces an 'STL Graphics' which is useless. I can import the DXF, but it's not a solid nor does it give me any options, it's not even using Solidworks surfaces hence why I imported into Max hoping I can do something from there.

Raggi_Thor Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 You can make a solid modell in AutoCAd and export it to SAT (acis). I am prettyu sure SolidWorks can import SAT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spittle Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share Posted January 16, 2009 You can import a .dwg 3D model straight into Solidworks but I'm not producing this particular model. It's from an external source who are using a package called Madusa. Waiting to hear if we can get a different format but if not then I need to turn a 3D Mesh into a solid. The Knit function is not workng in Solidworks, and I have no experience with surface modelling in Solidworks to know how to fix this.
