Rapidform is used for scientific research every day, but rarely does it help with such an important discovery as this: ancient human footprints found in Kenya reveal that our ancestors had…



How to generate an accurate mesh from line type scan data

By Som Valliyappan • Oct 6th, 2008 • Category: Tech Tips, XOR, XOS

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



How to copy poly-vertices from a mesh

By Som Valliyappan • Oct 3rd, 2008 • Category: Tech Tips, XOR, XOS

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



How to Generate an Accurate Mesh from Line-type Scan Data

By Rob Liebert • Aug 22nd, 2008 • Category: Success Blog, Tech Tips, XOR, XOS

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



How To Create a High Quality Mesh-Fit Surface

By Rob Liebert • Aug 22nd, 2008 • Category: Advanced, Success Blog, Tech Tips, XOR

XOR’s Boundary Fit Surfacing function helps you to easily create a surface body using boundary curves on the mesh, even if the mesh is a complex freeform shape.

This technical tip will help you understand how to create a high quality fitting surface.

Step 1:



How to Trim a Mesh using a Curve or Ref. Plane

By Mike Tsang • Aug 19th, 2008 • Category: Intermediate, Product News, Tech Tips, XOR, XOS, XOV

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
