Importing catia file into inventor... Only one surface appears.

I'm trying to import a Catia file into inventor. I have no experience with Catia. 

 

It will only import with one surface. I am selecting individual surfaces on the import option screen. Also, one body needs to be repaired. I'm not sure how to do this. I have tried to to heal the surfaces and change my allowance to .25mm. I had no luck. 

 

I also have the same in an stp file. However, similar problems exist. I have attached the catia file and my part file after import and some attempted healing.

At this point I think the CATIA or STEP file is bad and you should request a new one.

Walter must be sleeping.

 

Try the attached file. (stitched to solid but did not fix the surface with issue)

 

Can you request a Parasolid *.X_b file from the source?

As far as I know it is a native Catia file. 

 

Is parasolids the best to resquest?

My guess is that the Parasolid will be no better.
