Hi all.
I have a .stl file of a building skin.
This file is composed of 150 pieces.
I have to draw each part one by one to take the dimensions and make them in sheet metal.
Do you have a solution, macro or otherwise, for Sw to open room by room and the sides in automatic?
Or will I have to do everything by hand?
Thanks in advance =)
Hello
FeatureWorks wouldn't work for that?
No, because there are overlapping pieces.
The client designed with Cadworks, it is an assembly of several parts.
Feature works doesn't want
and if you open the imported parts independently
not possible to use Feature works
I know it's a lot of work
but there must be some repeating parts or symmetries

Hello, sorry but I think like @GT22. Apart from hoping to have pieces that look the same, otherwise I don't think there are any possibilities...
Good luck

It would need a small macro that opens room by room, launches Feature Works and saves them in a folder. There are some macro experts on this site, they may be able to help you.
Ourir piece by piece, super long....
I was also thinking of a macro that would do it for me^^
No Mycad tools for that?
When I export the parts one by one, feature works is grayed out... What for?
The problem I think is that you have an assembly of parts in surface
Do these pieces interpenetrate each other or not?
Have you tried to open the first file (imported 1) alone to see the head it has
and convert it to solid to already allow you to analyze the workload to be expected

Export your set
and suppresses everything except the 1st imported piece
to test

Precisely, when I insert it in a new part, I can't do anything with it except convert it into a fake sheet metal (because it's a badly designed part)
I would just like to be able to have the profile of each piece on a plan to be able to redraw everything easily in having to take 50,000 ribs by hand...
The part contains unsupported body operations.
FeatureWorks was unable to continue.
I don't know if it can help you, but there was a post on how to import surfaces into a MEP:
http://www.lynkoa.com/forum/import-export-formats-neutres/mise-en-plan-dun-step-impossible
On the other hand, we will have to rate everything.
Thank you, but the problem is not so much the quotation but above all the export of all the parts and their own mep.
I have exactly 167 pieces, I have some for the day see more^^
To sum up, it would be necessary to:
- a macro that records all the volume bodies in single pieces
- then of these bodies, that a drawing be created with an import of dimensions.
If it's not possible to import the ribs, I'll take them back by hand, but at least I'll already have a good part base
Well, by right-clicking on the list of parts and then "save parts"
I have my unit parts list numbered from 1 to 167
All that remains is to do automatic drawings with predefined views?
Smart drawing can do it, right?
On the other hand, Smartdrawings, I didn't get everything^^
I configure everything, I launch the bousin, it thinks for 10 hours, it opens a lot of shots, closes them etc.
But I can't find them anywhere, even if I have specified a precise path.
Since these are imported bodies, there cannot be any dimensions from the model.
I'm not worth the hills, I even unticked the box.
I just want to have my views positioned ^^
