Exporting to CAD & STL
CAD - it is usually recommended to stitch data before exporting it to CAD (this may vary,
depending on the target CAD application or the le format chosen).
In this process, stitch the data to generate a shell. Then with only the shells selected,
choose File > Export > Active As. The option dialog enables you to select different le
formats and appropriate setting options that are based on the selected format.
Surface Edit > Stitch > Shell Stitch
Creates a special object called a shell from a group of surfaces, in preparation
for export to a CAD package or STL.
Gaps in a shell are highlighted in yellow (or in pink when the shell is not
selected). These gaps are usually the result of gaps in the original NURBS
model. User-dened stitching tolerance can be set by unmarking the Use
Construction Options in the Stitch tool to try coping with these gaps.
Sometimes the NURBS geometry itself will need to be xed.
Evaluate > Check Model
Checks all, visible, or picked objects for common problems that may prevent
data transfer.
It is useful to check the data before shelling or exporting via Check Model. The
tool can identify short edges, multiple knots, internal tangent discontinuities,
and so on. It includes check boxes for G0, G1 and G2 continuity.
