Tim and crew, I am using Shark v10 Pro with PowerPack. I am running up against the 3000 facet limit regularly with models that I am getting. I need to be able to convert them into solids as that saves a huge amount of time in doing need changes to the item and keeps my time down. Some of my small models are over 4k facets. Is there a way to get this done? Thanks in advance for any help in getting this resolved as it will help business a lot. Michael

We licensed some technology from IntegrityWare, combined with some tools of ACIS, and put into
PowerPack Pro to help with this task.
Check out the Mesh to Analytic video below.
Converts a STL file into a precise solid with simplified components suitable for solid modeling operations and editing.
http://www.masterviacad.com/videos/ppvideos/ppvideos.html We have another beta build 1351 coming out tonight if you want to see if it works with your files.
More info here... Tim

Tim, I tried convert analytical and that tried but was unable to convert. If you want i can send a copy of the .stl to you folks to try as it could be considered a complex form due to the amount of angled surfaces and other items. Please let me know. I will try the newest beta and see how that goes. best regards, Michael

Tim,
Update: WIP1350 is able to handle the model and converted rather cleanly. You just saved me a bunch of time and money, Thanks.
Michael
UPDATE: Spoke to soon did not on first 2 attempts convert to analytical. Trying to reduce to number of tri's and adding quads to see if that will allow a transfer to analytical.
Tim converting to quads made no change and still not getting an analytical out of the mesh. it is not giving me a failed to convert message but also not giving me a solid either.
Hope this information helps. if you need a copy of the file to try from your end please let me know.
Michael
