Here is my problem:
- I reconstructed a 3D solid model of the human aorta and
iliac arteries using a 2D medical imageset acquired via
an MRI scanner;
- I exported this model in .STL format, aiming at
importing it in other CAD environments;
- so, I imported the 3D .STL model of the arteries in
Solidworks 2008 and I generated here a cuboid which
surrounds the arteries.
- now, I am trying to substract the arteries from the
parallelipiped which embeds them.
How can I do that? If someone has any idea, please tell
it as if he is addressing to a beginner. I attached an
image, hoping that this would be of any help (sorry for
the image quality, but its size is limited at 15KB on the
upload server).
