When you create a mesh, Mesh Buildup Wizard is typically used. If scan data consists of line type point clouds, then it is not easy to maintain the original shape of its boundaries while generating the mesh.

If you use the manual way of using 3D triangulation command in the Addins menu, you will get [...]

The application has no command to convert a mesh to poly-vertices.
So, you may easily think that you need to import the existing mesh data using the “Point Only” option in the Import dialog box or export the existing mesh data by point type file format and import it again.
Through this technical tip, you will understand [...]

When you create a mesh, you typically use the Mesh Buildup Wizard. If scan data is constituted by line-type point clouds, however, boundaries are not easy to maintain in their original shape while you generate the mesh.

If you manually triangulate using the 3D Triangulation command in the Addins menu, you will get better a result [...]

Rapidform XOR/XOS can create a body on a mesh using the “Auto Surfacing” command. This method can quickly and automatically wrap the mesh and create a surface/solid body by clicking one button, but it may possibly create gaps between patches on complicated and sharp areas of the mesh. So if you want to export the [...]

Problem:
When you pan a model in XOR/XOS, based on ATI graphic (Radeon or FireGL series) and Preferences > Hardware > OpenGL > Frame Buffer Save/Restore is “FBO” in the application,

Fig1. Preference Setting
the model unpredictably moves in the Model View as shown in the image below - fig2 and fig3.

Fig2. Before Panning

Fig3. After Panning
Solution:
You [...]

When you import scan data, the data will be loading in the software, and a new Mesh Feature will be added in the Feature Tree. Sometimes, you can have additional items created after the Mesh Feature, but you will not be able to immediately be able to trim the mesh using these items. This is [...]

Activating Rapidform on your PC is generally a straightforward process, but you may have a few questions about how to activate, especially for floating licenses or when your PC isn’t connected to the internet.  We’ve put together a PDF installation guide that covers license activation that we recommend you read. If you still have trouble activating [...]

Objective:
Region segmentation is a way to group set of poly-faces that belong to one feature. Regions assist in alignment of the mesh data to the global coordinate system and in the selection of a region of interest for extracting the design intent and converting it to a surface. This example in detail will give instructions [...]

Objective:
This example primarily focuses on how to autosurface a part. one of the quickest way to get NURBS from a mesh data. The airbag part is first aligned using interactive alignment method and then autosurfaced to get NURBS as displayed in the image above.
Pre-requisites:
Align

Objective:
The objective of this tutorial is to learn various alignment techniques. This involves 2 data set that are used for understandingthe following
1. How to align a mesh to desired co-ordinate system using reference geometries
2. How to align a mesh to desired co-ordinate system using already segmented region groups
3. How to align a mesh to a [...]
