CAD Import Options
Descriptions of the CAD import options (pre-processing, conversion, post-processing).
| Option | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Healing (also known as Pre-healing) | Pre-processing | Heal the selected part. |
| Alternate Convert | Conversion | If regular conversion (trimming and knitting) doesn't give the expected results, you can turn on this option to save the selected CT part into a temporary .x_b file that will be reloaded by Parasolid. |
| Sew | Conversion | When knitting fails, the CT part is converted into an assembly, holding all pieces. Turn on this option to combine (partially or completely) the pieces. |
| Solidify | Post-processing | When there are issues such as gashes, small missing faces, sliver
faces (faces that were deleted because they were non-tessellated),
you can turn on this option to help make parts solid. When tessellation partially fails, non-tessellated faces are deleted and the Solidify operation is performed again. |
| Reset Edge Precision | Post-processing | Recalculate the tolerant edge geometry to improve
precision. While turning this option may not topologically or visually modify the part, it may fix some failing modeling operations. |
Note: Solidify and Reset Edge Precision are the only
post-processing options relevant to XT-based CAD formats (Parasolid, JT, SW,
NX). Since XT-based CAD parts don't need to be converted to Parasolid, Healing
(aka Pre-healing), Alternate Convert, and Sewing aren't applicable.
