Verify a model in Pro-E WF4
Verify a model in Pro-E WF4
(OP)
I have transferred a model of a body scan from Geomagic to Pro-E in a DXF format. I want to calculate the cross sectional area of the model at various points on the z-axis. I am trying to execute the method under topic "Example: Analyzing the Cross Section of a Pipe" but cant get through step 4a. Is there a problem with my model/format? I've checked the model in Geomagic.

I would recommend using Studio to find the cross sectional area. I am using 12, and I don't remember the menu layout for 11 (12 has the ribbon design everyone seems to be switching to), but I am sure 11 can compute areas as well. In 12, under the analysis tab there is a compute button. Here you can select to compute the cross sectional area. Just define a plane and select it as the section for the calculation. If you have gaps in your scan at the section of interest, you will need to patch them in order for this calculation to work.
