If you select other modes of “Joint Type”, the representation of the sliced 3D model, will be different. In addition, the plans and the shape of the parts shown on the right side of the screen will be different too.In the previous part of this tutorial we learned how to import an stl mesh into Fusion 360, convert it into solid body and then do some basic modifications. Following those steps, you can use the solid workspace to do all of the modifications that you need. That method is simple to use but the trade-off is that we will need reduce the mesh size to less than 10000 or elements. It is because Fusion 360 works best when converting meshes with less than 10,000 facets. If you got a big mesh like those from 3D scanner you will lose the smoothness of the final model.

In this tutorial I will show you how to edit the mesh within the MESH workspace. You will do all the modifications there so you don’t need to reduce the mesh size. The screw head files: FreeCAD and the STL filesįirst of all, turn off the Design History and import both of the STL meshes into the new document.The rhinohanger.stl file : downloadable from thingivers.Of course, it is not as easy as using SOLID workspace in editing the STL mesh but it’s doable and you get to keep the resolution of the original model.įor example, I will add a new screw head hole in the rhinohanger mesh. You can adjust the position and orientation of the meshes using MESH-Modify-Move/Copy function.
