Convert Mesh To Solid Rhino3/17/2021
Having bought a number of usless programs in the past, I decided to investigate before buying.I down loaded the demo version but it was restricted to a very small number of meshes.
I sent one of my ring designs to the vender and asked that they convert it to solid and return it to me by e-mail. I contacted a relative who is in I.T. They took hours to process and locked his computer up each time he tried to convert to solid. Then I sent a very simple wedding ring design with the mesh size reduced drastically. I tried to do a simple boolean subtraction and it didnt work. THEY WANT 350 FOR THIS PROGRAM Has anyone out there had bad experiences with Rhino plug-ins R.H. Converting a mesh into a NURBS solid is usually seen as a very high-end application and the programs I am aware of (GeoMagic Studio, RapidForm, Surfacer, etc) all cost over 10K. What I might suggest is to purchase Smurf, a Rhino plug-in that I have heard good things about. However, Smurf only works with Rhino 2.0 at present. To produce a NURBS solid from a mesh is a tedious and labor intensive process best avoided if at all possible. The CAM program I use (VisualMill) works just fine with stl meshes so I can mill or RP meshes, but have to use a different program to edit them. I suggest creating a Customer Review describing your experience. Tolerances can sometimes be adjusted to allow Booleans to work (try first tightening tolerances). Convert Mesh To Solid Rhino Software That ReducesIt is a wonderful and intelligent piece of software that reduces polygon count with a minimal affect on the overall shape of the mesh. I have reduced polygon count up to 75 and still produced a good useable mesh that is much easier to work with. I think Rhino now converts to reals solids (polys) well and easily if the original nurbs model is properly constructed. Are you trying to convert a regular mesh item into a PolySrf. Maybe it does not work for complex items. Dont know. This command has been a huge time saver for me.
