Hi folks,
i´m new to shark cad and have the V10 pro + Power Pack Pro V10. So i try to slice an imported STL File in simply 2 halfs. I hoped if i would buy Powerpack Pro it might be possible to change the mesh stl into a solid to use the boolean or slicing tools of shark but this simply does not work. I could not find a documentation for the powerpack pro so it is like searching a needle in the hay.
Is there anybody who can help me with this task by giving some advice?
Thanks in advance!
Carsten

There is a mesh to analytic option or mesh to nurbs. Or if you have a small enough count of facets you can right click the model and click 'change object type' and then pick solid. It's restricted to 3000 facets, strange but works well.
The other tools work OK too, but it sort of depends what shapes the model is made up of, as it uses primitives to convert mesh to solid.

Hi Carsten

There is no split tool for meshes. We are looking into one however for a future release.

You could try two surface boolean subtracts with blocks. Surface booleans accept meshes.
