Hi, I was struggling with softwares in order to cut a STL file into a cross sectional view. I've tried to open with Solidwork, but I couldn't even work with the file through the software. I can't even select the surface. Anyone can help me?
After selecting Filef Type from dropdown list click the Options button that appears. This will give you an option to tell SolidWorks to import as a Surface or Solid Representation instead of the Graphics Representation that SolidWork selects automatically otherwise.
Sometimes if it's a really complex STL SolidWorks will just Puss (& Boots) Out and leave you stranded and Perplexed.
