Import Mesh and Return to Draw Mode

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi everyone,

After I've imported meshes that have been created with an external program, I'd like to return to Draw Mode to insert user-defined simple geometries. However, this message appears:
"Features cannot be created on a geometry that is defined by a mesh".

It does not work also if I try the other way around, i.e., draw a geometrical object and then import a mesh, because importing an external mesh means deleting everything.

Thank you for any tips/suggestions.
Best Regards,
PM
