Convert Mesh to Standard PropertyManager

You can use the Convert Mesh to Standard command to convert mesh BREP faces with recognized geometry to standard BREP faces.

To access the Convert Mesh to Standard PropertyManager, open a model that has segmented and recognized mesh BREP or hybrid mesh bodies and do one of the following:
  • Right-click a body and select Convert Mesh to Standard .
  • Click Insert > Mesh > Convert Mesh to Standard .
  • Select a body and in the Mesh Modeling CommandManager, click Convert Mesh to Standard.

When you preview the model, if you need to segment more mesh faces, use the Segment Mesh tool again to create additional Segment Mesh features in the FeatureManager design tree. You can then use Convert Mesh to Standard to convert these mesh faces to standard BREP faces.

Select Body Converts segmented, recognized mesh faces to standard BREP faces. The converted faces appear in the FeatureManager design tree as Convert Mesh to Standard features.
