The Mesh menu is available when the 3D Mesh module is active. The menu has one submenu: the Convert To submenu. The menu contains the following commands:

New 3D Mesh
Creates a new, empty 3D mesh.
Lock All Nodes
Since it is possible to accidentally drag points, nodes can be "locked" to prevent them from being dragged or edited by toggling on this command.
Find Duplicate Nodes...
Selects nodes that are close to each other within a user specified tolerance.
Find Element...
Selects an element given the element ID.
Find Node...
Selects a node given the node ID.
Tessellate
3D equivalent of Delauney triangulation. Creates a 3D tet mesh from mesh nodes.
Renumber
Renumbers mesh nodes eliminating gaps in numbering. Optionally a node string can be created and used to guide the renumbering.
Repack Nodes...
Refine Elements...
Subdivides elements into smaller elements.
Classify Elements
Element materials are assigned based on the solid the element centroid is within.
Isosurface Options...
Brings up the Isosurface Options dialog.
Isosurface Volumes...
Brings up the Isosurface Volumes dialog.
Zoom To Extents
Frames the Graphics Window around the selected objects.
Convert To >
Mesh → 3D Scatter Points
A new 3D scatter point set is created from the 3D mesh nodes.
3D Mesh → 2D Mesh
Creates a 2D mesh from the upward facing elements of the 3D mesh.
New Material Set
Creates a new material set in the Project Explorer.
