The aim is to use it within CfdOF, so it needs to be solid being able to get subtracted from a cube.
The step-file presented itself as just having definition lines (Normal for a *.stp?) First idea was to use draft-upgrade to work from wire to surface to solid, but the wires could not get upgraded.
Second idea was to make extrudes. Part-extrude worked basically with the following error message: "Part::Extrusion: Link(s) to object(s) 'Part__Feature001' go out of the allowed scope 'Extrude'. Instead, the linked object(s) reside within 'prodname'."
After trying various items a solid could be produced, but boolean cut ultimately fails with "Recompute failed! Please check report view."
Has anybody ideas on this? Yes, quickly rebuilding this simple wing would be easy, but it would be beneficial to exploit import potential.
Using step-files is still the way to go for import? Alternatives are .tri .igs .obj apart from .stl mesh and other mesh formats.
Thanks in advance!
