Is it possible to use Shrinkwrap to just give the outer surfaces of an assembly and solidify the inside of the assembly so I could then output it to an STL file for growing.
Well, I think You want to make DMU(Digital Mock Up), than You make
shrikwrap by File Save and choose the Merged Solid option. Than Pro\e
makes for You a part which one yuo can save to format you want to
Thank you muadib3d for the response but what I'm basically looking for is a quick way to copy all the outer surfaces of an assembly, close it up and solidfy the inside where there would be air pockets.
When I use shrinkwrap selecting Merged Solid it just merges all the components together but if I use Faceted Solid it seems to solidify the inside but it won't give me the tight definition I need for an SLA.
For STL file I think you are better off adding an empty part to your assembly and merging the other parts into it. You may have to then add some protrusions to fill in voids.
Well, there is nothing I can add apart of envelope. There was a tool in
Pro\e 2001 to simply assembly. It works similar to shrinkwrap and it
was used for Simp Rep. The result was a part. But as I think it is not
