Importing IGES file as solid part

[ravencontrols]

I am using inventor 2013. I currently have a IGES file that doesn't show the surfaces on my inventor drawings. The include all surfaces feature is check but still doesnt show all the surfaces. I just recently imported a IGES file as a soild part but i do not rememeber how i did it. Can someone please let me know once I clicked on the IGES file to open and then click options. What do I fill out on the option dialog box that the IGES file imports as a solid part and shows all surfaces on my inventor drawings. I have attached a picture of the dialog box I am talking about. Thanks Derek

Hi Derek,

I would uncheck "Wires" and "Points".

Can you zip and attach the original iges file here?

The best settings depend on the actual content of the file.

I am trying to attached the original file but it is saying that the file is too large no matter if I zip the file.

Is there another way to attach a file to this site if the file is too large even if you zip the file.

Yes after I zip the file the file is still bigger then 1.5MB.

I am just trying to figure out another way to post the original file on here as per your request.

I assume the SWx operator used the SWx equivalent of "shrinkwrap" on this file.  There are some missing surfaces.

It should still show in your drawing though.

The paper I linked before explains how to fix this one - fortunately the geometry is pretty simple.  It would take 2-3 hours of effort to fix it up.  Good experience for working with missing geometry.
