I recently had success doing this by selecting the .iges model and in the open box under options selecting the healer enabled and auto stitch & promote boxes. They opened as a solid and I was able to save them as .ipt's with their manufacturers part number (they were several flange and take up beaings)and use them in assemblies.
Look at the top of your tree. Is the icon
showing that the part is a surface or a solid? If it's showing as a solid
you will need to covert it to a surface so you can include the additional
surfaces in your stitch. If you use delete face on any surface in a solid
it will convert the whole thing to a surface feature. You can then stitch
in other surfaces.
It really depends on what exactly your trying to
do. Any chance you can post it to iCF?
Yeah, there are about 12 different ways to skin a
fish. Solid>surface>solid opens up a whole new arena modeling
techniques. The best way really depends on your specific geometry.
Your best bet in any case is to KISS.
Now I can't get it back to a solid.
Is there any way to tell if there is a side (surface) missing other than just looking at it.
I am wondering if a have a tiny piece somewhere that is missing so that It does not convert it to a solid.
2 things can cause it not to re-solidify.
First is that you have some small gap in the surface. Mismatched edges can
cause this. Second is trying to include some surface that does not enclose
a volume. You can't have a solid with a 2d piece part of it. Both
situations result in mismatched edges. You need to closely analyze
the surface. One you've stitched in enough surfaces to completely enclose
a volume it will automatically revert to a solid.
Now

Thanks.
I now have that straightened out.
But...
I have no volume. It shows the part as a solid in the tree and when I slice it but when I look at the properties it shows no volume or mass.
And since there is no volume it doesn't let me put ribs on it.
