Solid to Surface
Solid to Surface
(OP)
I have customer who can't import my solidmodel because of its 68mb size. I've cleaned the file up so that all dangling surfaces and solid have been deleted. Is there anyway to turn this solid into surfaces? This is complex model with very complicated pattern, so therefore knitting each surface is not practicle. I tried clicking the single body with the knit feature, but didn't work. Suggestion on how to reduce file size?

Be aware surfaces my make it larger instead of smaller.

At my last job the QC department needed wireframe curve models for CMM setup.
IGES works well for this. Under the Save As options for IGES, select/deselect the following:
solid/surface entities -- OFF
wireframe (3D curves) -- ON
Wireframe models like this can also be helpful for double-checking translations, i.e. to make sure all surfaces trimmed as expected.
What program is your customer importing data into?
