and promote surfaces to solids. The surfaces must be "clean" watertight
envelopes. Most IGES files I see do not meet that requirement. If you have
trouble getting a particular IGES file to a solid post it to IVCF and someone
will help.

The IGES files I get are very rarely "watertight."
This is something that Autodesk really needs to address.
For the
most part it is not their fault, unless it was an Autodesk product that
produced the IGES, but then you wouldn't need an IGES anyway.
I recently
created a boat hull in MDT exported to IGES and opened the IGES in Inventor.
The surfaces didn't match the MDT surfaces. I then opened the MDT-IGES file in
another SoftWare and it was perfect. Saved the surfaces with no changes as
IGES from the other SoftWare and opened in Inventor and they were perfect.
Figure that one?
