The Mesh Enabler issues a warning when it encounters a feature with more than 5,000 triangles. In response to Arne reaching out to me at, I provided him with a link to download the Mesh Enabler. For his master's thesis, Arne is using Inventor 2017 and needed to scale an STL file, so he could really benefit from the Mesh Enabler. By delivering high-quality research and customized education, the VUB wants to make an active and committed contribution to a better society. The VUB is an internationally oriented university located in the heart of Europe. Recently, I had an exchange with Arne Poelaert.Īrne Poelaert is a student at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) in Brussels, Belgium. Students who need this functionality reach out to me, and I provide them with a download link. In other words, Inventor then recognizes the data as a solid that has a surface with an interior and exterior instead of just a collection of points.Īutodesk subscription customers can download the Mesh Enabler from the Autodesk App Store.Īutodesk makes its software free to students around the world, but technically, they are not subscription customers, so they can't download the Mesh Enabler. The graphical mesh data is converted into boundary representation (B-Rep Model) data that can be used similar to imported solids and surfaces. After installing the add-in, Inventor users right-click on one or more imported mesh features and convert them into base features (solids, surfaces, or composites) through a new context menu command. The Mesh Enabler converts mesh features to solid base features or surface features and can be applied to individual or multi-selected mesh features or mesh feature folders. The Mesh Enabler is an add-on for Autodesk Inventor.
