In this video, using Creaform’s VXmodel software, I show how to first align scan data to the origin by constructing a cylinder, then create a plane at the bottom of the mesh that is normal to the axis of the cylinder. These are used in a Manual Alignment and to constrain the mesh to the 3D coordinate system. I also point out why having a perfect watertight mesh is not a requirement to create desired entities. After alignment, I demonstrate how to extract a radial cross section through the mesh, rotating about the Z axis. See how to change the position of the cross section to get an optimal cross section and from there transfer the cross section over to SOLIDWORKS to complete the modeling process. We'll first make the cross section “constructed geometry” which we can use as a reference when sketching our own sketch. Our sketch is a rotational one, where when we are finished sketching, we’ll perform a rotational feature function, rotating the sketch 360 degrees, making a solid body.
