Sectional Curves for STL Graphic Body
Sectional Curves for STL Graphic Body
(OP)
Hi Guys,
I have Scan data in STL Format for which i need to develop parametric model in solid works.
I am unable to import the data as a Solid or Surface body.It is showing message (This STL Model has too many surfaces.Please import this kind of models as Graphic Body).
Now My Problem Is I am not able to create any sectional curves using Graphic Body.
Is there any way to extract sections from Graphic Body?
Looking forward for your valuable suggestions.
Thanks In Advance.
Regards,

You are encountering one of the fundamental problems of using an STL file. Your best bet is to try to get the file in a different format, preferably Parasolid or ACIS. Since it is from a scan system you should check to see what its output options are.
