I’m moving large meshes between Mimics and 3matic using the workflow laid out in the relevant demo script, and would like to discuss other, faster possibilities. I have a mesh of 4.5M elements that takes 7 minutes to import into mimics, after exporting from 3matic. It takes just over a minute if I manually copy from 3matic to mimics ,or use the remesh button in the mimics window to start my edits.

I’d like to be able to access the remesh tool to move meshes between mimics and 3matic. Is that going to be added to the api at any point?

A second option would be to allow the export and import that occurs during the copy-paste to be a python function.
