Building volume on a lightweightbody
Building volume on a lightweightbody
(OP)
Hi all,
Some weeks ago, I experienced for the first time with this software and with your help, I managed to build a 'plastic cap' on top of a skull of a human (see in the screenshot in attachment). Now I want to do exactly the same but with a leightweight body that show a rodent.
This rodent scalp is extracted from a patch-file of Matlab that I converted to an STL-file with the Matlabscript stltowrite and inported in a model in Siemens NX. Now I have my scalp and want to build the cap volume on it.
But how do you do that? I tried to do it by making a sketch on the top of the ligtweight body but that's not possible? Someone has a solution to help me out?

I searched on other topics in this forum, but can't find a real solution or alternative.

You may or may not have a license.
If you don't, then you'll need to cut sections through the faceted model to then surface.
