Seeing as our previous \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/8Z0IiVKt5Hg\">Mesh to Solid<\/a>\u201d QUICK TIP did so well \u2013and that part of it was getting out of date&#8211; we decided to devote some time to updating it. And, although a large portion of this video will be a repeat if you watched the last one, I made sure to add some new bits at the end. That said, I\u2019ve often heard that \u00a0the best way to learn is through repetition, so I think it\u2019s worth a couple minutes of your day for review, but if you want to skip ahead to the new sections, click <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/dD5fhq-cZ_s?t=3m44s\">here<\/a>. To see the entire \u2018rebooted\u2019 tip, watch below:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"QUICK TIP: Mesh to Solid Reboot\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dD5fhq-cZ_s?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you were comparing between the first version and this one, I updated a portion that previously used a different technology to make the quad mesh (in fact, I <em>directed<\/em> you to a video devoted to this subject), and in the last section I covered the option to \u2018convert meshes to b-rep\u2019 right from the <strong>modeling<\/strong> browser! That option existed when I last made this a little more than a year ago today, but at the time I didn\u2019t understand all the caveats that I mention in the video. I hope we can try to make this process a\u00a0 more straightforward in the future, but for now remember the three rules mentioned:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Turn design history off.<\/li>\n<li>Be in the modeling workspace.<\/li>\n<li>And make sure that mesh is under ~50k facets to be able to use this method successfully (or at all).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Many thanks for reading!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Cheers,<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>~Aaron<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Want to turn meshes into solids?
