Convert to Generic Solids


Recommended Posts

I thought that the purpose of the Convert to Generic Solids command was to reduce file size in order to speed up rendering and viewing a model - the trade off being that the resulting models lost some of its manipulability.

I have tried the command and it seems to do almost nothing ? a 3 Kb reduction in a 9Mb file.

What is this command supposed to do and under what conditions does it work best?

The file size would reduce depending upon what you have in the file. Convert to generic solid only works on Add/Subtract/Intersect/Section Solid, Fillet, Shell objects. Unless you have these types of objects - you won't see any reduction at all.
