Introduction
This command creates a shape from a mesh object. The resulting shape is a collection of vertices or points, which can be used as reference to further create lines, sketches and faces with other tools, like the Sketcher or the Draft Workbench.
Use
- Select the mesh object.
- Go to Part → Create points object from mesh.
- A shape from the mesh object is created as a separate new object.
There will be no analyzing or validating of the mesh object. Analyzing and repairing of the mesh should be done manually before conversion, if needed. Appropriate tools are available in the Mesh Workbench.
