The CAD Menu contains the most commonly used CAD data optimization algorithms:


Menu option

Description

Keyboard Shortcut

Repair CAD

Automatically repairs native CAD / BRep geometries: CAD faces assembly and optimization, CAD faces automatic orientation, ...


Explode Bodies

Explode selected Parts by bodies


Convert Selection Back To BRep

Converts a selection of Parts back to its CAD / BRep representation


Delete BRep Information

Deletes all CAD / BRep information on selected Parts


Tessellate 🌟

For the selected Parts, generates an optimal mesh representation out of their CAD / BRep surfaces


See: About Tessellation


NOTE                Pixyz tessellation algorithm has proven to be the most efficient and performant algorithm available in CAD data preparation software! Check this out: Tata Elxsi compares Pixyz Studio and Unreal Datasmith.


Re-Tessellate

Tessellates again the selected Parts with the defined parameters.


Models that contain BRep surfaces (CAD models) can be re-tessellated directly in the scene without having to import the model all over again. Re-Tessellate allows to fine-tune tessellation quality of entire models or individual parts in the scene.
