Mesh To Solid for AutoCAD is a plug-in for AutoCAD which gives AutoCAD the ability to convert a mesh to a 3d solid.

General solid modeling software, such as AutoCAD, does not have methods to manipulate or modify mesh objects. Solid modeling operations such as boolean operations (union, subtraction, intersection), extrusion, offset, taper, shell, etc. are possible only with solid or surface objects. Moreover, there is no way to convert a mesh into a solid so that the solid modeling operations can be carried out on it. Mesh To Solid for AutoCAD solves this problem by giving AutoCAD the ability to convert a mesh to a 3d solid.

Meshes in AutoCAD are of two types: PolyFace Mesh and Polygon Mesh. Mesh To Solid for AutoCAD can create a solid from both these types of meshes.

Mesh To Solid
for AutoCAD is designed to be extremely user friendly and easy to understand. To convert a mesh into a solid simply run the "MSConvertMesh" command and select the meshes you wish to convert. Truly software made simple!


Pricing


Mesh To Solid for AutoCAD is priced at 195 EUR only. This is the price of a single user license. For your bulk-licensing needs please contact us.


Installation & Usage

Since Mesh To Solid for AutoCAD is a plug-in for AutoCAD, it must be loaded into the AutoCAD environment before it can be used. Please follow the simple instructions in the Mesh To Solid for AutoCAD ReadMe document which is copied into the installation folder.

Mesh To Solid for AutoCAD adds new commands to AutoCAD. All the commands start with "MS" (stands for Mesh To Solid) to distinguish them from other AutoCAD commands and commands added by other plug-ins. These commands are housed in a new menu called "Mesh To Solid" which is added to the AutoCAD menu. The commands added are:

  • MSConvertMesh - Convert a mesh into a solid
  • MSConvertMeshFile - Convert a mesh in an external file into a solid
  • MSOptions - Display Mesh to Solid for AutoCAD options
  • MSHelp - Display the Mesh To Solid for AutoCAD help file
  • MSRegister - Register your copy of Mesh To Solid for AutoCAD
  • MSAbout - Display the Mesh To Solid for AutoCAD About box

Mesh To Solid for AutoCAD comes with detailed documentation for each command as well as a tutorial to get you started in the shortest possible time. There is also an online version of the help file which you can view by clicking the link below.
