Stl file to convert

3D Design Volume Model
1

The STL file arrives in a mesh.

convert the mesh function to surface body and even better to solid body.

Thank you for helping me.

Hello

You need to enable the Scan To 3D add-in (Tools/Add-ins). A SolidWorks Premium license is required.

From there, you can obtain a volume body with the possibility of reworking it.

Hi @ Christian C

which SW do you have? ...................... if SW 2012 or inf 

you can pass your file and I'll do it for you

as said @ Benoit

scan to 3D works very well for this

The problem will be on the license, no premium license at my job.

Does anyone have the possibility to do the manipulation in solid body to be able to work it again afterwards.

I provide the stl file to the good soul who can do it and re-transform it into a step to be able to work it in inventor.

I know it's complicated...

Thank you in advance.

You're going to laugh Bart, it's solidworks 2001 at work.

Thank you.

Hello

Why not open the mesh stl directly in Inventor?

@ Christian c

you're not going to be happy but your file is super rotten 

the best is in finding another ;-)

You can find it here http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2498/#files

might as well take a CX blueprint

Here is one

http://www.the-blueprints.com/blueprints/cars/citroen/4577/view/citroen_cx_break_%281978%29/

you'll be able to have fun working in surface ;-)

there are a maximum of other vehicles of the manufacturer or others with the same ref year diff

See this Pliny and Complex Surface tutorial

http://www.lynkoa.com/tutos/3d/solidworks-splines-surfaces-complexes

Ideal tools for modeling an imported surface such as a blueprint

whose file posted above

or 2 years younger 1978 yes the other was 76

http://www.the-blueprints.com/blueprints/cars/citroen/4577/view/citroen_cx_break_%281978%29/

or this family station wagon from 1982

http://www.the-blueprints.com/blueprints/cars/citroen/30229/view/citroen_cx_familiale_break_%281982%29/

You have the choice 

The blueprints, the tutorial, and your SW 2001 which can also do the trick or you do on Inventor

Good evening and (good surface modeling)

I'd rather not have to start from scratch.

There is really no way to turn it into a volume for Inventor or Solidworks.

Thank you, good evening.

it's really not made for

What do you want to do with it?

it's hyper facetizing not clean at all

even for a 3D print of a 10 cm cart

Hello

This mesh is super clean, full of flat areas, possibility to generate curves to recreate surfaces, for me it is fully exploitable, the sub-meshes are well calculated (see image).

On the other hand, I don't have time this week to stick to it and it's clear that it will take the same time as starting over blueprints.

HS: it's clean, but the modeling is far from fair given the image of @coyote !!!

What is it to do with @christian. C ? If it's not indiscreet!! ;)

I want to be able to do the symmetry and have real wheels (the width of the wheels) and powder print it.

And what size do you want to make the piece?

at 1/12 this would be top.

it's still not beautiful 

there are still a lot of defects 

and it's in surface

Here is a maximum of jobs to do 1/12 correct

knowing that your base part is 65.203 mm

attached file with symmetry
