Objective:

When trying to export a mesh file from nTop, it may be necessary to export a multibody part as a single mesh file.

​
Applies to:

  • Merge Meshes
  • Export Mesh
  • STL
  • OBJ
  • 3MF

​
Procedure:

  1. Convert the bodies into meshes using a meshing block like our Mesh from Implicit Body block.
  2. Add the Merge Meshes block to your Notebook and insert the meshed bodies. This will combine the individual meshes into a single mesh.
  3. Add an Export Mesh block and insert the new merged mesh. This will export the multibody mesh as a single mesh file.
And that’s it! You’ve successfully exported multiple mesh objects with a single STL file. Are you still having issues? Contact the support team and we’ll be happy to help!
