Measure on an STL part.
Measure on an STL part.
(OP)
Hello,
I have a scanned casting part, an STL file. I need to compare it with our designed part.
How can i measure this scanned part?
The only hing that is working in the measure menu is "Point on Face", but that is not really accurate when measuring a hole or the distance between two parallel faces.
Are there more ways to measure it?
Thanks in advance,
Tjeerd

RE: Measure on an STL part.
analysis->deviation-> gauge
this will use faced bodies
RE: Measure on an STL part.
This seems to be the right tool to check the cast part.
Only the tool is not checking all the face.
If i select one face it works, but when i select more faces or the whole part (around 700 faces) the tool only checks about 4 faces.
So i can check a couple important faces but not everything.

RE: Measure on an STL part.
you may sew the single faces to sheetbody and compare this with the facet body
RE: Measure on an STL part.
But it doesn't work.
The designed part is one solid body, no single faces. So the sew command doesn't work.
