Tried to import a part into Blender 2.8

Post by AshAsh »

Hi Guys,

I am trying to import a part into blender in the STL format it does not simply show up, I tried doing with a collada file but
the whole assembly does not show up and some parts go missing. I am using freecad 0.18.4.

Thanks
Ash.

Pictures are nice, but don't let others have a go at seeing it happen (or not).

You can attach files to you post.

Perhaps you have a scale issue : the scene is too big, your view is in the middle and it's clipping.

In blender try to put the scale at 0.001 while importing to get the good size (top right of the window).

The .stl doesn't contains unit informations but vertex positions are written in millimeters (FreeCAD intern units), Blender reads it as meters I think.
