Convert solid to mesh

[arfa]

Hello Ironcad Community ,

Can ironcad convert from solid/smooth part to polygon/mesh shape ?

*I have attached the picture below as an example of the polygon shape that I have downloaded from grabcad

Thankyou.

I have tried to export the file to stl format and make some adjustments .

 

 

 

And this is the result, is this the right way?

Yes when you export to STL, OBJ, VRML for example, those will create a triangulated mesh. We don't have much in the way of editing tools for that type of geometry and their may be other editors for that purpose.

Are you looking to do something like this? Like Cary said, if you simply want to make a solid into a mesh, just export to one of those file types.

Thank you @SSIMMONS for providing another solution that may help others in the future.

I will use the method given by Cary for now.
