CATIA V5 - Create close solid bodies starting with STL files

If you ever wondered how you can converted an STL file to an editable solid body within CATIA V5 this is the workflow that will allow help you.
Using this workflow you can easily adjust 3D printed file formats to better suit your needs.

Excellent video sir thank you very much.
I want to share a tip. If you have a simple model in STL that for some reason contains too many triangles, then you can run the "Decimate" command in Digitized Shape Editor and you can reduce the complexity while maintaining the same shape. This makes the surface reconstruction much faster.

Hello from Brazil!!! Thank you very much for your video. It's helping me a lot! I'm a beginner at Catia and it's not very easy to follow all the steps and find the menu the first time, but again I'm very grateful that you shared your knowledge with us.

I won't lie, following this video was infuriating as a Catia beginner, but it was actually very useful. Great and valuable advice non the less.

i have problems with submeshes.i have error when i click on part in automatic surface

[AveryTHassin]

How much do you have to wait for the surface?

[joelisaak]

If I click on automatic surface I receive the message: selcted mesh contains non manifold vertices. Could you please help me?

[ismailsevimli]

I got an error saying "selected mesh contains non connected zones". What should I do?

[ismailsevimli]

I can't rise the detail rate up to 5000
I immediatly get an error says you cannottt

I do everything you say step by step and it doesn't work
