Work on a file import from 3DS Max or Autocad

3D Design Volume Model
1

Hello 

I design the sets ( image 2)

I would like to know if there is a way to work on import files, I imported an STL file on Solidworks (Imgae 1)

https://i.goopics.net/EDLpD.jpg

I would like to transform the model into a volume or surface in order to create metal structures like image 2

I use sketches of the different faces, vertical, horizontal and inclined planes in order to recreate the shape of the set (Image 3)

I would like to use planes and the "Intersection Curve" function to create the curves that delimit the body at each desired level ( Images 4 and 5)

You have to import as a volume or surface area (see the option button in the file selection window), if you choose "graphic", you won't be able to get anything out of it.

Thank you for your answer but when I open the STL  file I have no import option

and if I try to import the DWG or DXF files I get this error message

Thank you

Hello

You have to select the type of file you want to open (STL or STEP...) because there you have all the files... Once you have selected the file type, the operations box will be available because you can select operations according to the type of file you are going to open.

Hello, otherwise you can set it to default in SW's settings directly. See attachment.
