Union: Creates a mesh object that is the union of two mesh objects.Regular solid.: Creates a regular parametric solid mesh object.Decimation.: Reduces the number of faces in mesh objects.Create mesh segments from best-fit surfaces.: Creates separate mesh segments for specified surface types of a mesh object, and can identify their parameters.Create mesh segments.: Creates separate mesh segments for specified surface types of a mesh object.Remove components by hand.: Removes components from mesh objects.Remove components.: Removes faces from mesh objects.Add triangle: Adds faces along a boundary of an open mesh object.Close hole: Fills selected holes in mesh objects.Fill holes.: Fills holes in mesh objects.Flip normals: Flips the normals of mesh objects.Harmonize normals: Harmonizes the normals of mesh objects.Curvature plot: Creates Mesh Curvature objects for mesh objects.Boundings info.: Shows the bounding box coordinates of a mesh object.Check solid mesh: Checks if a mesh object is solid.Curvature info: Shows the absolute curvature of curvature objects at selected points.Face info: Shows information about faces of mesh objects.Evaluate and repair mesh.: Evaluates and repairs a mesh object.Create mesh from shape.: Creates mesh objects from shape objects.Export mesh.: Exports a mesh object to a file.Import mesh.: Imports a mesh object from a file.Almost all are also available in one of the Mesh toolbars. The Mesh Workbench offers some commands to directly manipulate meshes, but it is most often used to import 3D mesh data and convert it to a solid for use with the Part Workbench or PartDesign Workbench.Īll Mesh Workbench tools can be accessed from the Meshes menu.
This is why FreeCAD relies on Brep instead. However, in the field of engineering meshes present a big limitation: they cannot accurately define curved surfaces. For these reasons, meshes are often the 3D object type of choice for applications dealing with movies, animation, and image creation. In addition, since meshes contain very simple data, 3D applications can usually manage very large quantities of them without using a lot of resources.
Since meshes are very simple objects, containing only vertices (points), edges and triangular faces, they are very easy to create, modify, subdivide, stretch, and can easily be passed from one application to another without any loss of details. Many 3D applications, like Sketchup, Blender, Maya and 3D Studio Max, use meshes as their primary type of 3D object. Meshes are a special type of 3D object, composed of triangular faces connected by their vertices and edges. The Mesh Workbench handles triangle meshes.
