![]() ![]() ![]() I don't recall its name ATM, if you're interested to check it out, I'll find the link at work. Last time I had to produce a quick render, I found a free online rendering app that can import multiple file format, including CAD formats. One thing that I don't understand though, is that the obj produced by FreeCAD looses its placement once imported in Blender, it looks like everything is rotated 90 degrees along the X axis. closed-geĪnd in theory that should be it! I just tested with a bunch of primitives I created in FreeCAD all with the same placement and sharing the same space, and once I separated by loose parts they were considered as separate mesh objects. It will import as a single object, but you can separate it "by loose parts" see. First you need to add file for conversion: drag and drop your STP file or click the 'Choose File' button. ![]() obj, which can contain multiple closed mesh objects. This video explains how to convert a STL file to Step or editable 3dmodel file format using FreeCAD Software : FreeCAD 0.18 Show more FreeCAD 0.19 - Converting STL files to Solid. Instead I suggest exporting your STEP assembly file from FreeCAD to. May I suggest trying a different method? STL is a very limited mesh format designed for rapid prototyping of single parts. step file (1 step file and all individual component parts are preserved within the step file.)

Is it easy to create? im relatively new to developing. Is there a way to open the step file in freecad and then with a macro save out each part as an individual. This is still very long and laborious as sometimes i have parts with 200 screws and 50 component parts Alternatively to using the file menu you can go to Mesh Design workbench and create the mesh object there before exporting it from the mesh menu. I usually select the Body if its a Part Design model. I then open that up in freecad and i can easily select and export individual parts to stl files. Click on the object in the tree view, then in the File menu choose export. So currently, i export from solid edge as a. ( ive used solidworks for years and did everything i needed it to.) im using blender as a rendering software, so i need individual parts so i can texture each component without having to select the mesh of each part. I design everything in solid edge and i need to get the assembly files into blender as individual parts. Im using freecad to translate my files from solid edge to blender. ![]()
