Hi,

I have a model like this.



I need to make a model from this STL file and modify the wings of the phoenix to make it look better. Currently I try to draw surface using the point from the STL file as reference but that is a very tedious and time consuming task

Can anyone advice me the best way to do this.
Thank a lot.

Hi,
Could you please explain more about it, especially the "geomagnetic" ?

BTW, I have searched for a method of doing this kind of work on the internet and I found some automatic solutions to turn this point cloud to surface. But there are two problems in my case:
- First base on the demonstration it seem that the surface that create automatic from reverse engineer program is "blur" and not very "sharp".
- Secondly it seem that I can't modify that surface. I need to modify some feature of the model to improve it design.
Are there anyway that can overcome that problems ?

Thanks,
