Import STL as mesh problem - X4MU3

[Code_Breaker]

Hey, the option to import STL is not available ... what am I missing?

 

In a previous X-version, I could bring in STL as lines or mesh ... now what?

[Odell]

File open..click on file and then click on "options" next to the green check..

[Code_Breaker]

sorry, but option button is grey-out ... cannot select ... (see above)

[Odell]

Well then hit that S.O.B. with a hammer.....

[Code_Breaker]

When I use a new file, it comes in as a Graphic Picture ... cannot select any thing, level manager show zero entities ...

 

This really sucks ...

[ajmer]

do you have verisurf installed

that removed the option to import stl files

[Code_Breaker]

yes I do ... does Verisurf have anything on this? What can I do at this point?

[gcode]

If you install the full Verisurf package

you loose Mastercam mesh options..

If you just install the free tools mesh still

works.. at least it does on this system.

[Code_Breaker]

BUMMER ....

[gcode]

Someone please correct me if I've got

this wrong..

 

If you've paid for the full Verisurf package,

you've got Verisurf STL mesh which has

way more features than Mastercam STL mesh.

If you haven't and you're just using the free

tools, there is no need to have the full

package installed..

you've killed Mastercam STL mesh and Verisurf STL mesh doesn't work cause you don't have the codes

 

so..

Uninstall Verisurf..

Do a repair install on Mastercam.

 

This will be a pain because you'll have to uninstall MU3

repair X4 then reinstall MU3

Mastercam STL mesh should work when you're done.

then install the Verisurf package

but just the free tools part.

Look in this Topic and I covered what you need to do with Verisurf Loaded on a computer and want to use STL's or Mesh and Mastercam.

Thanks for link, but I need an access code ... when I loaded Verisurf, I THOUGHT I was loading only the free stuff ... maybe I didn't ... now what?

[Ron Branch @ 5th Axis]

Well you will have to uninstall Verisurf and when you do the add-on uncheck the reverse when you do the install.
