Using Fusion to Translate 3D Files

You can open a 3D file in Fusion to take advantage of the Shaper Utilities SVG exporting Add-In.

This saves a lot of hand manipulation and color-coding of 2D vector files.

Save the 3D file from whatever software package you work in. STEP is a good option. 

  • Click "File" > "Upload" and upload the desired file into Fusion
