Thanks for the content as ever! While you’re on the topic of mesh to solid, does the processing speed / ability of this process depend on ram? Motherboard? I’m not as computer savvy as I once was 😅
My understanding is that the CPU and RAM are what's important for the conversion. I've noticed a pretty big difference when I use my Mac Studio vs an older Macbook Pro. That said, it does also depend heavily on the model. Mainly, how many mesh facets.
Yay theres no way i could aford to pay for the comersial licese as this is just a hobby but now i can make changess to STL files a bit easier than i could vefore. Tha k you.
You do not need a commercial subscription to edit a mesh in general. To use "Convert Mesh" with the "Prismatic" option (where it rebuilds the model for you) you would need one of the 3 licenses (Commercial, EDU, Startup)
Thanks! I have a 3-part Design and CAM series in the works (planning/scripting). Not sure if I'll ever do a 30 days series, but do plan to make more CAM-specific lessons. What machine do you have?
@@ProductDesignOnline I have a Langmuir MR1 and I also have an 8ft Avid router table with Mach4 that I am going to try and and start using Fusion CAM with. I am using Aspire now for the router and would love to convert but I am struggling with the Fusion CAM.
@@ProductDesignOnlineI also have a 8ft plasma I definitely can not recommend a Langmuir but the Avid is the bomb! Hoping I can incorporate Fusion for all soon. Do you by chance do private tutorials?
@@rufustoad1 oh, that's good to know! What are the main issues with the Langmuir? I have heard mix things about them. I do offer private tutoring, though I am booked up until early September - productdesignonline.com/1-on-1-fusion-360-sessions/ I also hope to create some more advanced or project specific CAM courses for the Avid this winter.
We made them smaller 😃 I mention you would do the same process as making them smaller but use the "Cut" operation, as shown with the Text near the end of the lesson.
Absolutně zbytečná práce. Nejjednodušší je STL nepoužívat, zcela ignorovat. Používá se objemové modelování na všech úrovních i ve sliceru i v CAD. Lze používat STP či STEP, případně IGES. Osobně nepodporuju celosvětové SPAMOVÁNÍ souborů typu STL.
Wow. Lots of great info here. I don't know how often I'll need it, since I almost exclusively am dealing with new designs of functional parts and don't have to import meshes. But if/when I do, I've got a bunch of new knowledge I can use. I didn't even know about the mesh sketch feature. That alone was worth watching the video. The other workflow tips are icing on the cake. :)
"Create Mesh Section Sketch" is the main workflow. Unfortunately, the standard "Project" command does not work with mesh bodies due to the nature of the data. Your other option would be to convert it to a brep, even if using the "faceted" option. You could then reference all edges, vertices, faces, including projecting them.
This made me realize I need more practice lol. I have been trying to learn because I am wanting a job on campus (it's my freshman year). I know two people who work/worked there who can help put a good word in, but obviously I still need to put work into it. Any tips? I wouldn't say I'm dumb, but I can be a slow learner sometimes haha. I do enjoy learning all this but it's kind of overwhelming.
Just want to say I am mostly likely gonna start as a receptionist there and I am hoping I can work my way up and do actual 3D printing stuff. Mainly wanting the job because I need a job lol. Also good for my resume.

One of the best tutorials series on TH-cam.
Thank you for watching! Appreciate you
This is awesome! I had never heard of the Mesh Section command. Thanks so much!
Great video as always, thank you ♥
You save my life!!! Thx a million!
THANK YOU... man I needed that ❤❤
thanks ❤

Really good stuff Kevin. Will you ever do a CAM in 30 days with Fusion?

@@rufustoad1 very nice! I wish I had room for a Langmuir.
I have a 4x4 Avid that I'll be using for the lessons 😎

More mesh editing courses please! Nice video, thanks.
Wow this is so needed. I see so many questions from people on how to edit meshes.
Agree, this has some up a lot lately.
I'll have to make some additional lessons that cover some other workflows :)

Thanks for your support! I appreciate you 🙏🏼
That's really useful! Thanks.
Excelente, ponerlo en práctica me va a llevar tiempo pero es una gran herramienta para modificar. Gracias
This was a lifesaver! 🎉
Can you project mesh surfaces, centers and edges on to a solid sketch?
"Create Mesh Section Sketch" is the main workflow. Unfortunately, the standard "Project" command does not work with mesh bodies due to the nature of the data.
Your other option would be to convert it to a brep, even if using the "faceted" option. You could then reference all edges, vertices, faces, including projecting them.
@@ProductDesignOnline Makes sense. Thanks.

Interesting way of doing it but imo its bad practice.
Better to convert it to a solid first then much easier to edit but also higher quality.
The key point - this is for quick changes OR when the mesh file won't convert. Many files won't convert.
@@ProductDesignOnline Yes When we have a lot of data on a high res 3d scan with uneven surface
@@siddharthpatil4917 3D scans almost always need to be reverse engineered with Mesh Section Sketch and rebuilding with surface tools.
