Scanned part

[PeterBrown]

Hola, I had an old part 3D scanned by an outside source. They sent me a ProE file, with features. However, I am not satisfied with how one of the basic elements was modeled, it does not appear accurate. The initial import feature in the model tree is hundreds of curves. Is there any way I can make a surface or solidify this myself? TIA

Peter While you can use existing curves for driving surfaces, I will give you a process I found that worked better for building a model based on scanned models. The process I used was to make a new empty model and assemble into a assembly. Then I assembled the scanned model into this new assembly. I would build features independent of the scanned model, but verified the features using the assembly. Now my model tree is clean and not dependent on the scanned modeling. I'm sure some other users have other tricks, but this provides the cleanest model. Good luck Eric

I understand you must be having the basic Scanned geometry to work around.Import just the scanned geometry and later create curves per your choice. One thing I would like to add the time factor since it depends how much time you can invest in redefining the models ... -Chander.
