Hi,
I'm trying to create a geometry with a cone vertically cut in half, and then extruding that face. I've been able to extrude surfaces with some of the geometries available, but it doesnt seem to work at all for others, including this one. (PreView just crashes)
Is this something to do with how I'm using the extrude tool or is there a better way to do this? If not then I'll probably try importing a mesh - is there any software you would recommend for creating the mesh? (Preferably one that is free for students?)
Thanks for the help,
Haaris
Edit: I've made an STL on solidworks and tried importing that, and it works but it's not a volume mesh - if there's any way to convert surface to volume mesh please let me know as that would probably address the earlier problems too!
