# From Mesh

![CmdCADFromMesh.svg](https://cdn.document360.io/820e11db-8ed5-45ae-ac86-f6b77dcb2aa7/Images/Documentation/CmdCADFromMesh.svg)

This command is used to convert meshes into CAD Surfaces. The CAD surfaces will keep the same type of geometry, i.e. a triangulated one.

> [!TIP]
> ### Requirements
> 
> Select the meshes you want to convert, and launch the command.

---

> [!WARNING]
> ### Notes
> 
> This function **does not** convert a mesh into a CAD type model (IGES or STEP). It just makes compatible a mesh with another CAD model in order to be merged for subsequent steps (i.e. BIM inspection).
