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.
How to convert grease pencil stroke to mesh in 2.79?
In 2.79, conversion is only happening on active layer. The Convert to > Mesh command in the Object menu is actually a different operator that doesn’t even work for Grease Pencil objects. We should simply make this contextual, to only show the relevant conversion. Likewise for meshes, it makes no sense to convert a mesh to a mesh.
Can a grease pencil be converted to geometry?
You’re blocking ads, which pay for BlenderNation. Read about other ways to support us. In this video I explore some options for converting Grease Pencil data to geometry data.

How do you make a curve in Blender?
Multiplier for the points’ radii (set from the stroke’s width). Will create a single spline, i.e. curve element, from all strokes in active Grease Pencil layer. This is especially useful if you want to use the curve as a path. All the strokes are linked in the curve by “zero weights/radii” sections.
How is a spline created in grease pencil?
Will create a single spline, i.e. curve element, from all strokes in active Grease Pencil layer. This is especially useful if you want to use the curve as a path. All the strokes are linked in the curve by “zero weights/radii” sections. Grease Pencil stores “dynamic” data, i.e. how fast strokes are drawn.
How does mesh snapping work in grease pencil?
