Converting Mesh BREP to Standard BREP

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

This functionality works for mesh BREP or hybrid mesh bodies that have recognized geometry. The functionality works best for meshes with well-defined planar, cylindrical, conical, and spherical geometry that do not have significant noise.

To convert mesh BREP to standard BREP:

  1. Open a model that has mesh BREP or hybrid mesh bodies with segmented and recognized faces.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Right-click a body and select Convert Mesh to Standard .
    • Click Insert > Mesh > Convert Mesh to Standard .
    • In the Mesh Modeling CommandManager, click Convert Mesh to Standard .
  3. In the PropertyManager, under Select Body, select bodies to convert segmented, recognized mesh BREP faces to standard BREP faces.
    Colors indicate mesh faces that are recognized or unrecognized.
  4. Click to convert the recognized segmented mesh BREP faces to standard BREP faces.
    You can repeat this process to try to recognize and convert additional faces.
    The converted standard BREP faces appear in the FeatureManager design tree with the Convert to Standard BREP name and icon .
