Stephan,
So Step files are better than Parasolids files?
Are you exporting obj from MoI to bring into XSI?
Thanks,
Leoung

Hi would strongly recommend step-Files and convert them with MoI. So
you have full control over how the geometry gets meshed (MoI has quite
some options for tuning). And ask the client to keep the assembly
groups intact. So you have all building blocks properly named as
separate objects and don't have to deal with one single piece of
geometry. This way I had never any problems.
Try to stay away from IGES. I had always problems with missing
surfaces.
STL and WRML exports are already meshed. So it can be a bit of an
problem to clean the geometry.

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
