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. First time I installed this, it didn't work to make solid objects, it did automatically surfaces that I couldn't edit. The graphical mesh data is converted into B-Rep Model data that can be used similar to imported solids and surfaces.

After installing Mesh Enabler, right click on one or more imported mesh features of interest, and convert them into Base features solids, surfaces, or composites through a new context menu command. This function can be applied to individual or multi-selected mesh features or mesh feature folders. If you would like to discuss any of the software featured in this post the call us 023 8086 8947, we look forward to hearing from you.The Mesh Enabler application converts mesh features to solid base features or surface features. That means if you have a subscription with any of these apps you are able to get a non-expiring version of Mesh Enabler off the app store. As well as Design Academy, Autodesk Master Suite and last but not least TI Enterprise Multi-flex. The app is free when you have subscription for Autodesk Inventor, Autodesk Inventor Professional, Autodesk Product Design Suite, Factory Design Suite, and a number of other suites avaliable from us. Just to confuse things Inventor 2013 can support Catia files as well as STL and JT Giles. The plug-in allows users to work with imported mesh data in various formats including Catia in Inventor 2012. These base features can then be used for your operations such as drawings and measurements.

With this app you have the ability to post mesh data into Autodesk Inventor to create them into base features (solids, surfaces or composites). Autodesk Mesh Enabler for Inventor has gone out of the Labs and into the big leagues of Autodesk Exchange Apps.
