Broken bosses from inventor to Rhino

Anonymous — Fri, 19 Nov 2021 14:20:45 GMT

Hello.

I am doing a 3D model from inventor that has bosses, and when I open the file in rhinoceros (from a .step exportation) the surfaces from the bosses are messed up.

Can someone help to avoid this happening.

Thank you

Have you got a screenshot?

What does messed up mean?

There seem to be issues with STP imports in Rhino that force people to repair the geometry:
"In the case of STEP import, isolate each solid, Explode it, RebuildEdges (default settings), and Join.
If it’s still a Closed, solid, polysurface, you’re good to go.
If it has naked edges or other problems, there will be some cleanup to do."

Or simply import as a DWG format instead.
