ScanTo3D Overview

ScanTo3D significantly reduces the time required to build complex 3D models from non-digital data...Sketch 2D and 3D curves on the mesh feature...ScanTo3D automatically imports textures from 3D Studio .3ds .obj .wrl files provided the textures are clearly linked to the mesh file

Export Rules

named FIDMARK2 and there is no extrusion feature, this component is regarded as 2D (zero height...Because the 3D extrusion feature is named in TO237...If you model ECAD features (such as components, boards, keep-outs, and outlines) as 2D sketches, then CircuitWorks exports them with zero height
