To Convert A Mesh Object To A 3d Solid Autocad For Mac
Adjust Mesh Conversion Settings If the conversion does not work as expected, try modifying the following system variables:. FACETERDEVNORMAL. FACETERDEVSURFACE.
Convert existing objects to 3D solids. You can use several methods to convert objects in your drawing to 3D solids: Convert surfaces and objects with Thickness to 3D Solids Convert a group of surfaces to a 3D solid Convert mesh to 3D solids Thicken surfaces to convert them to 3D solids. Mar 14, 2015 This video shows how to convert Polyface-Meshes to 3D-Solid using AutoCAD 2015.
FACETERGRIDRATIO. FACETERMAXEDGELENGTH. FACETERMAXGRID. FACETERMESHTYPE. FACETERMINUGRID.
FACETERMINVGRID. FACETERPRIMITIVEMODE. FACETERSMOOTHLEV For example, if the smooth mesh optimized mesh type (FACETERMESHTYPE system variable) results in incorrect conversions, you can set the tessellation shape to be Triangle or Mostly Quads. You also can control the adherence to the original shape by setting the maximum distance offset, angles, aspect ratios, and edge lengths for new faces.
The following example shows a 3D solid helix that has been converted to a mesh using different tessellation settings. The optimized mesh version has been smoothed, but the other two conversions have no smoothness. Notice, however, that the mostly quads conversion with the lower tessellation values creates a mesh object that adheres most closely to the original version. Smoothing this object improves its appearance even more. Similarly, if you notice that a converted mesh object has a number of long, slivered faces (which can sometimes cause gaps), try decreasing the maximum edge length for new faces value (FACETERMAXEDGELENGTH system variable). If you are converting primitive solid objects, this dialog box also offers the option of using the same default settings used to create primitive mesh objects.
