I have scanned data which is stl file(polygon model), my final goal is to form solid from stl, i have seen couple of videos no one is showing about cleaning before working on it, if i can get anyleads would helpful.

I am using fusion for this process. Stl file have lot of points in it.

STL files have a lot of tessellation (points). Converting it to a solid retains all the points. About the only way to clean it up and lose all the extraneous points is to completely redesign it from scratch.

I've done that a few times on some relatively simple designs. Measure the converted STL and then layout the new solid model using the measurements you made.
