Use the Surface tool to extract a surface and prepare a mesh .stl file for download.
The Surface tool in the Author toolbar allows users to establish a surface boundary of their parts. In the below video, we will show you how to use the tool in the following steps.
- With the Reconstruction data object selected, click the surface button.
- If this button is not enabled, check that you have the Reconstruction selected in the Data panel and have manager access (not viewer) to the data.
- Define the object surface threshold in the Attributes panel. Lower values will be more inclusive, and higher values will omit lower-density areas of the scan.
- Use the Export Mesh button to add a mesh object to the Data panel.
- This may take a few minutes to process and require reloading the browser.
- Download the STL from the Mesh data object once it is available.
