Hi everyone,
I'm trying to sculpt with the "3D surface" path. For that, I have a test mesh. I can't select the faces I want.
At first, I realized that the mesh was damaged. So I repaired it in the "Mesh Design" workbench with the "Mesh/Analyze/Repair the mesh" tool.
Maybe my mesh has too many faces.... Maybe there is another reason.... I don't know.
I attach the mesh.
Can you tell me what's wrong or how I can do to select, for example, the top faces?
Thanking you in advance.
I give the link for the FC file

Re: How to select faces on a mesh
Try to make in Part workbench a shape from the mesh; you may even have to convert it to a solid. There are thousands of posts describing this procedure.
A Sketcher Lecture with in-depth information is available in English, auf Deutsch, en français, en español.

Re: How to select faces on a mesh
Hi everyone,
I did some tests and it works. On the other hand, I used a cylinder that I drew in Blender as for the mesh that I used at the start. I couldn't use the mesh I was using at the start because each time I got the message "cannot convert because shape is not a shell". I think I'm missing something on this mesh.
Thank you for your help. See you.
