The final optimiztion result needs to be exported as an STL-file directly from the Postprocessing. We recommend exporting binary STL-files.
The exported STL can be imported back into the same Apex Generative Design project. Please check your Geometry Import/Export settings. A Feature and Vertex angle of 40 degrees is a good value and should be default.
The correct unit system of the STL-file has to be selected. The Split on Feature/Vertex Angle can be deactivated.

3. With the Geometry Edit Tools a Boolean intersection with the Design space and the imported optimization result can be done. Now all functional surfaces and sharp edges are created.
