Thank you for that complaint Thank god for your comment, i can't believe Autodesk haven't put this in the installation instructions. First time I installed this, it didn't work to make solid objects, it did automatically surfaces that I couldn't edit.
I reinstalled it and than it works. It is a little finicky, but by doing a solid extrude and then importing a mesh over and then making the mesh a solid, I was able to use the combine feature to make a cut requires two solids.
If you aren't getting the option when right clicking, make sure that you are right clicking on the mesh object under the mesh tree. Also, as others have said make sure to enable the add-on. It isn't automatic. This tool is especially helpful when i need to modify. Reading all the Reviews where users couldn't figure out how to use Mesh Enabler - this isn't a Help forum - go over here and ask for help.
I installed this newer version of mesh Enabler for use with autodesk inventor but I had to revert to an older version. It only converted my. But the moment i switched over to using mm in the ISO standard, the. This review should probably be under a bug reporting site but I cant find that so I hope the Autodesk team finds this here.
Worked on Inventor after doind this:. Thanks Luis Gaiato! I thought it woudn't work. Very importont information. Tahnk you! Would be helpful if this information will be implemented in the description. I used this tool in and was able to multi-select mesh surfaces to convert it worked very well. But now in the ability to multi-select meshes is not available. I can only select 1 mesh at a time, process, then select again etc.
I'd give 5 stars if I could multi-select again. You should post over in the Inventor forum and include the file. It has worked for me for many years. Mark the automatic load box. Hello, when will the version for inventor be available?
Mesh enabler 1. Same problem for me! Inventor with Windows 10 and newest MeshEnabler version. Hopefully there's going to be a fix. Doesnt do what its say it does, spent hours, ends up making something that isnt a solid and you cant print it anyway. Wast of time! I dont know why. When it converts the. I wonder, have anybody else experience this? Does anybody know how to correct this issue? I had the same problem and it took me a while to get it corrected.
Good god this addin really is a must have for work with shape generation. Can't believe it isn't standard with inventor. Iv'e downloaded the application. Enabled add-ins on Inventor, but the option "Convert to Base Feature" never shows up.
You need to enable first. Sorry, but you should try it. I used this with Inventor , it took min to convert the part, however i am only running this on a laptop. Demorei para conseguir baixar, mais no final deu certo. Buongiorno, ho a disposizione inventor per studenti in italiano. Cosa posso fare? I use this tool to import. I can convert to solids and edit the designs. Just don't forget to set the load behavior in the Add-in Manager, on "Load Automatically". This article is very informative, but I'd you help me with a thing.
I imported a stl. Also, I cannot calculate the properties mass, volume Inventor doesn't recognize it as a solid. I wish you could help me with this. If you tick 'Load Automatically' bottom right hand corner it should activate the add on every time you start inventor.
I need the solid. Mesh Enabler was THE promise. Thx and best regards. I suddenly had a problem with this add-in and just had to re-inable it on the tool menu. It works great as long as you have it running.
Install the add-in on a working student edition of inventor , but after installing add-in inventor crashes either during splash screen or after splash screen but before home page opens.
Inventor stalls out doesn't shut down. Requires force-quitting After waiting long enough it does seem to get past the splash screen, but it still stalls for ages at the home screen open recently used files screen. It works well. I used it with 3DPrintTech 2. I haven't download the program yet, but I wonder about that which version of inventor does it work with? I will load inventor hsm pro v, any problem?
The installation seems to work but once I am in Inventor Pro and the option "convert to base feature" is missing when right clicking on my object. So it seems to be loading but the menu entry is not there. How do I fix this? Hey, i had the same issue. I fixed it by going to Tools and clicking on Add-Ins.
I noticed that mesh enabler wasnt being loaded for my model, so i selected it and checked the boxes. Hope this works for you!
