    Importing geometry in Preview

    When I try to import a geometry from solidworks (stl format) in preview, I get only one surface. Is there any way to get all the surfaces of the geometry? Thank you.

    Hi,

    I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "all the surfaces of the geometry", but PreView (and the new FEBio Studio) will always import the entire contents of the stl file. If you don't see the entire geometry, I would double-check if the STL file indeed contains it. If you mean that STL geometry is partitioned differently than you expected, you can repartition it from the Edit panel, select "Auto partition", enter the desired crease angle, and press Apply. I hope this answers your question.

    Cheers,
