I am running up against the 3000 facet limit regularly with models that I am getting. I need to be able to convert them into solids as that saves a huge amount of time in doing need changes to the item and keeps my time down. Some of my small models are over 4k facets. Is there a way to get this done? Thanks in advance for any help in getting this resolved as it will help business a lot. Michael

Check out the Mesh to Analytic video below. Converts a STL file into a precise solid with simplified components suitable for solid modeling operations and editing. http://www.masterviacad.com/videos/ppvideos/ppvideos.html We have another beta build 1351 coming out tonight if you want to see if it works with your files.

If you want i can send a copy of the .stl to you folks to try as it could be considered a complex form due to the amount of angled surfaces and other items. Please let me know. I will try the newest beta and see how that goes. best regards, Michael

You just saved me a bunch of time and money, Thanks. Michael UPDATE: Spoke to soon did not on first 2 attempts convert to analytical. Trying to reduce to number of tri's and adding quads to see if that will allow a transfer to analytical. Tim converting to quads made no change and still not getting an analytical out of the mesh. it is not giving me a failed to convert message but also not giving me a solid either. Hope this information helps. if you need a copy of the file to try from your end please let me know. Michael Edited by user Saturday, September 9, 2017 4:31:06 AM(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified
