Re: STL to Solid - "Part object is not a shell" error

Hey Mark;

Thank you so much for doing this.
I was really stuck!

I am using FreeCAD 0.13 on Windows, I don't know if this can be an issue though.

Thanks again.

Re: STL to Solid - "Part object is not a shell" error

Hey Guys;
I tried this part-by-part conversion to a solid, but was unsuccessful.
Can someone convert this mesh to a 3D solid and send it to me, please?
This will be really appreciated.
Thanks

Re: STL to Solid - "Part object is not a shell" error

Hi again;
It says: "The mesh is not a solid."

Anyways, the STL file is attached.
FYI, this is a dinosaur!

Re: STL to Solid - "Part object is not a shell" error

Hi;
Thanks for your response.
This is exactly what I do, but still I get the
"cannot convert because shape is not a shell"
error message!

STL to Solid - "Part object is not a shell" error

Hi;
I am new to FreeCAD, trying to convert a 3D mesh in STL format to a solid to do cfd modeling.
First, I created a "part" and tried to convert it to a solid but came up with the following error message:
"Part object is not a shell."

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
