Re: CAD files from rhino
Guys, I've been dealing a lot with CAD files lately, one of the most plug&play solution is to export the file from you CAD software ( I usually use JT ) and import everything into SimLab and from there export in FBX...its surprisingly fast and I never had export problems, except for CAD files using Nurbs surfaces, but I haven't tested Rhino yet, so you can give it a try with the 14 days trial. 2017-06-09 8:03 GMT+02:00 Olivier Jeannel : > while looking for a definition of non-manifold vertices, I found this. > http://3dprintingninja.blogspot.fr/2014/12/non-manifolds-automatic-fixing- > methods.html > no idea if its worthy. > I would try the houdini way, I'm sure there's a sop somewhere that has a > function to solve this... > > > 2017-06-09 1:59 GMT+02:00 Eugene Flormata : > >> ahh, yeah I've been trying to fix it in maya at the moment. >> it keeps deleting faces and messing up the normals >> so i tried it in rhino, it didn't delete faces as much as just mess up >> the normals >> was hoping there would be way to avoid manual cleanup >> >> On Thu, Jun 8, 2017 at 3:45 PM, Graham Bell wrote: >> >>> If you’re exporting the data as a STEP or JT file, then once it’s been >>> meshed then it’s probably better to fix that mesh in Max/Maya/whatever.

Re: CAD files from rhino
while looking for a definition of non-manifold vertices, I found this. http://3dprintingninja.blogspot.fr/2014/12/non-manifolds-automatic-fixing-methods.html no idea if its worthy. I would try the houdini way, I'm sure there's a sop somewhere that has a function to solve this... 2017-06-09 1:59 GMT+02:00 Eugene Flormata : > ahh, yeah I've been trying to fix it in maya at the moment. > it keeps deleting faces and messing up the normals > so i tried it in rhino, it didn't delete faces as much as just mess up the > normals > was hoping there would be way to avoid manual cleanup > > On Thu, Jun 8, 2017 at 3:45 PM, Graham Bell wrote: > >> If you’re exporting the data as a STEP or JT file, then once it’s been >> meshed then it’s probably better to fix that mesh in Max/Maya/whatever.

Re: CAD files from rhino
ahh, yeah I've been trying to fix it in maya at the moment. it keeps deleting faces and messing up the normals so i tried it in rhino, it didn't delete faces as much as just mess up the normals was hoping there would be way to avoid manual cleanup On Thu, Jun 8, 2017 at 3:45 PM, Graham Bell wrote: > If you’re exporting the data as a STEP or JT file, then once it’s been > meshed then it’s probably better to fix that mesh in Max/Maya/whatever.

RE: CAD files from rhino
If you’re exporting the data as a STEP or JT file, then once it’s been meshed then it’s probably better to fix that mesh in Max/Maya/whatever. Not much point going back to Rhino, although sometimes though mesh normal appear fixed, they’ve shown up in renders and we’ve had to go back to Rhino.
