Hello, I'd like to be shown how to convert 'Bender' to a solid so I can play around and modify him.

http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:212824 (I'm using benderPlated7R.stl)

He currently has 97, 798 Facets.

I've used the Mesh Tools and Separated all parts (Worked great!)

His head has 21,674 facets... if I reduce it to the required less than 3000, it loses too much detail.
Same for his legs and body. His hands covert really nicely.

Could someone walk me though the process please to keep as much detail as possible...
A video would be great!

Thanks,
Chris

P.S. I'm using the demo right now. I purchased PowerPack Pro but have yet to receive my key.

Hi Chris
Can you check that you can receive emails from eve-soft.net? I've sent a couple of emails but not sure they are getting through.

Thank you for purchasing the PowerPack addon for ViaCAD 2D3D, ViaCAD Pro, Shark LT, or Shark FX.

Please send either a copy of your splash screen or receipt for proof of purchase identifying your product (ViaCAD Pro/Shark) and platform (Mac/PC). We will not only send you a PowerPack installer, but our most current product version.

Once received, you will be sent links and instructions to updating your install for PowerPack.


Regards
