Need to work with geometry created in other applications? We’ve added geometry in Freestyle to our import and export support. Here’s what you need to know to get started using it:
You can import a Wavefront OBJ file that was created in any application. With this open format, you can share simple data, including vertex positions, normal, and faces—all of which can be edited in Creo. Just follow these steps:
Now that you’ve imported a mesh, you can treat it just like a freestyle object created directly in Creo. For example, you could mirror about a center plane and make changes to both sides of the object.
Drawing a box to select the left half of the mesh.
Selecting a surface patch.
Both sides of the center plane change as the patch is dragged.
You can also export a Wavefront OBJ file to share data with other applications.
Collaboration with external applications is easier and less painful because now you don’t have to repeat design changes made outside of Creo.
