    Reverse Engineering surfaces to solid bodies

    Thanks for the help guys. I was able to use NX 9.0 yesterday and had some good results using facet bodies. I used the snip facet tool followed by fit surface to get a small patch of what I was working on. I will have to play with it a little more to get the entire surface I am looking for.

    Reverse Engineering surfaces to solid bodies

    John, I am still new to using surfacing in NX (8.0 is the version I have), how would I use a facet body to create a useable surface?

    Reverse Engineering surfaces to solid bodies

    Good afternoon everyone, I am trying to figure out what the best way to go about reverse engineering scanned data is. I can get the data in iges files with point clouds or sectioned splines. The other option that I can use is facet bodies. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
