I imported/converted an STL file into a solid body in Solidworks. The file is a dog tag in the shape of a bone. The resulting solid body has many polygons which make up the part. I want to join them all into one so that I can write text on the surface of the object. Currently I can only select one of the tiny polygons to add text to it. I'm still learning Solidworks (newbie), so I was hoping someone can please provide me the steps on what I need to do. If you'd like to see the file, I have attached it to this post.
Thank you,
Nelson
..a simple workaround I've been doing for ~15 years,... export as IGES and open that IGES.. the planar facets will join as one face.. (image)
