Converting CGR to CatPart?

Converting CGR to CatPart?

Converting CGR to CatPart?

(OP)
I would like to convert a cgr file to a CatPart so I can do some changes on it, can it be done?

RE: Converting CGR to CatPart?

Hi,

A CGR is not a Solid, and we do not have any function to turn them into solid.

So the only "way" is to find all planes, circles, dimensions with analysis and rebuild the solid from scratch. This will work on basic solids.

Or........

Ask the solid from the user who made this CGR.

If you used Sweep Volume from Kinematik then build a solid as close as you can, you can try to save the result as a STL and then do some surface reconstruction.

Have fun

Ok, I will explain what I´ve done and what I want.

I´ve done a reach study on a manikin through Human Builder and managed to export the reach envelope as a cgr. I would like to convert the envelope to solid or surface so I can better visualize the ergonomics and have it as engineering support.
