First off, what cad program are yo using?

Open up strpix and get to the mesh you want to edit. Next go to the drop down menu. select FILE then EXPORT MESH. save the mesh to something you'd remember. Now open up your cad program and then the mesh you saved*1. Edit the mesh any way you want and save the file again*1. Go into strpix 3.8*2 and scroll to the mesh that you want to overwrite. Select IMPORT MESH from the drop down menu. Texturize it and save it.

*1 Usually i open the file in meta and i size it 1.000 X 2. also you'll have to save it as 1.000 x -2. That's so that it will be sized correctly.

*2 More information coming soon.

*2 Whenever saving in strpix 3.6 and beyond, for some reason they seem to corrupt the wad. To fix this just open up strpix 3.4 (available on my site) and open your corrupted wad. Just save wad and it should be uncorrupted.

Well I have corel draw 10, and it does allow these file types, but for some reason when I open the exported file I cant see anyhing, so I dont know whats up with that. But maybe you can direct me to a program that works extremely well for doing this.
