Hey,
im straight new to OnShape
. It is a very cool CAD Platform !
Here my first problem, i imported a *.stl File to onshape. Onshape shows only Meshes but no Parts. Even in the Assembly Studio i cant choose the Mesh to import it.
How can i creat a solid (?) Element from a imported Mesh ?
Thank you for your support.
Have a nice weekend

(a) Reverse engineer the part. Each point in the stl can be projected, so if it's a simple part this is doable.
(b) Find the part in a different format. OS will accept just about anything, but I'd try for parasolid or step file.
