Trying to install software - first time

A 1kb obj file definitely doesn't sound right.
Meshed files are difficult to work with in CAD software.
I tried loading stl's in 123Design and it will display your scan as normal but you can't do much with it.
A better program for actually sculpting or smoothing these files is Meshmixer.
It's free and is very useful for cleaning up or altering a scan.

Ok I will try that software. I have also struck out with Sketchup. They all seem to load the stl file but then there is nothing there.

I downloaded Meshmixer and the program can't open the stl file - it just keeps saying "Generating Mesh" for like 2 hours. I downloaded another stl file from the einscan website and it loaded no problem. I also opened this downloaded stl file in blender with no problem. I will try another scan and see if it saves any better. There are not a lot of options in the einscan software.
