I have had success with Polytran importing Parasolid (.x_t)
Iges (.igs)
Step AP203 or AP214 (.stp)

STL wouldn't be my first choice

I will give MoI a try though.

Solid works can output to .stl and then import to MeshLab (open source)
which can output .obj, which Softimage can read.

    Hi guys,

    Next week I shall receive a mecanical pieces generated with
    Solidworks. Because I'm dealing with an agency, they might won't
    be able to send an obj or fbx file.
    They propose various formats :
    Assemblage or Assembly (.asm)
    Part (.prt)
    Parasolid (.x_t)
    Iges (.igs)
    Step AP203 or AP214 (.stp)
    IFC 2x3 (.ifc)
    ACIS (.sat)
    STL (.stl)
    VRML (.wrl)
    Universal3D (.u3d)
    3Dxml (.3dxml)
    Catia Graphics (.cgr)

    So my question is, what format should I ask and what software
    would you recomend  to open and save it in a classic polymesh
    format ? (preferably free...)

    I have an old Deep Exploration, I was thinking giving it a try.
    But if someone has a cool winning format + software to advice...

    Thank you !

    Olivier
