Is it possible to make a drawing into a mesh?
I would like to ask if it is possible to make a drawing into a mesh. That would be very helpful. It can be a 2d plane formed like a cube or something. You can do this with a Grease Pencil sketch, it has a Convert to Geometry Routine.
Can you turn a grease pencil sketch into a mesh?
You can do this with a Grease Pencil sketch, it has a Convert to Geometry Routine. However, the paths created with this take ALL the curve points of the Grease Pencil sketch into the new mesh, so this may not be a perfect solution.
How to convert grease pencil to mesh in Blender?
First, make sure you’re in Object mode, with the stroke object selected. If you use Left click select, you can open this menu via right-click on the stroke object. Otherwise, you need to hit the W key. For now, using the mesh conversion on a stroke object results to a curve object for some reason, I guess it will be fixed.

Is it possible to convert a mesh to geometry?
If you have ever tried to take a mesh to geometry yourself using other tools or a CAD tool, you know it is very hard to do unless you are working with a part made out of nothing but flat planes. This is because the way a tool like this must work is to: Take a 3D FEA model and finds only external faces.
Which is an example of creating a mesh?
The following example creates a circular cross-section with a diameter of 50 with 64 points, and generates a mesh with a maximum triangular area of 2.5: Circular section geometry. Mesh generated from the above geometry. Bases: sectionproperties.pre.sections.Geometry
How to convert a mesh to parasolid geometry?
Select Initial Geometry in the tree and you should see a “Convert to Parasolid” icon on the ribbon bar. Click that and it will use the Parasolid modeling kernal to try and fit your surfaces. This can take a while on a complex part.
