Importing STL files and aligning
- [Instructor] Let's start on our path to reverse engineering. Go to insert, to insert mesh, and select the phone stand file. As you see, it comes in not aligned. If you click on top up here, the phone stand is at an angle. If you switch to any of the right views and you click on the origin button right here, you can see that it came in not on the plane. We're going to do some hand alignment and then refine this later. So I'm going to move this down roughly .3 millimeters in that way, and then I'm going to click and drag on this view cube here and click on the bottom, and then rotate it so the bottom is facing the correct way. I'm going to rotate this just a bit, looks like maybe 48-something degrees around that, and then I'm going to drag on this to get this origin right in the center of those two ovals. Doesn't have to be perfect, just most of the way there. Great. That is now aligned. I can turn off the origin.…
