About Wireframe Data
When only wireframe data is available, or when data is inaccurate so that surface information cannot be imported, you can construct a solid model of the entire part or create solid features based on important geometry only, using the wireframe as a reference.
To create solid geometry from a wireframe, you can:
• Create datum planes through the wireframe entities and use the entities as references when creating the features.
You may choose not to create solid geometry for the entire imported part.
• Create datum curves on top of wireframe entities and use the datum curves as boundaries for creating surfaces.
You can also export the wireframe associated with a solid model, including any visible surface quilts, into a single file. You can place a wireframe on a layer and blank it, if required.
If the imported wireframe geometry contains gaps between entities, use Legacy to repair the geometry.
