Fusion 360 for hard surface modeling - what to do with .STL files?

Mant1k0re

Hey all,

I had some fun with Fusion this afternoon, can't say I like the UI very much but it's really easy to make complex shapes quickly with it.

I have poked a round a bit to see how I can convert .STL to something usable in another package but not much luck - a .STL to .OBJ script for Maya, which I don't have, and then some online converters - not too sure about this last option. If anyone has a bit of experience toying with Fusion could you share how you get past that step?

Thanks.

Heya!
This can be done in Fusion.

Create > Create Base Feature


Then, Modify > Mesh > Brep to Mesh



Then in your browser/outliner, right click your mesh body and "Save as OBJ"


Hope that helps
