Importing the Triangle Data

CopyCAD constructs surfaces over a triangle mesh. This can either be created through triangulating point, scanline or grid information or by importing a triangle model. In this tutorial, we will import a ready-triangulated model.

To import the triangle data:

1. After starting CopyCAD, select File – Examples from the main menu bar.
   
   
2. In the Open Example dialog box, double-click on the Surfacing folder to open it.
   
   
3. Click on the Bonnet_Triangles.dmt file, then click on the Open button. This file contains the triangle model for the Delcam buggy design.
