Import and Edit an .stl File in Inventor

Out of category

Hello

 I would like to know (if possible) how to modify a .slt file in Inventor?

I have a .stl part that I import into Inventor, I save it in .ipt but only here I can't modify it because Inventor tells me it has no volume, nor measure it and I also can't put it in a drawing.

Any idea?

This is a recurring question about our software... with solidworks there is the mesh, the 3D scan, etc but what I do is that I go through Bender to transform it back into a step and then give volume to the surface after importing.

To see if applicable to Inventor
