Importing .stp files (Issue with Curves/Radius)

[Anonymous]

When importing .stp files from customers/design team, Models do not seem to have a radii where required, instead, there are lots of point to point sections where the radius/curve section should be. Plus then when I machine imported models/profiles on powermill these straight lines are showing on the part also. I am new to Powershape/Powermill, i am looking a guide to help me get rid of these straight lines or any way to convert these into curves/radii.

Thank you!

Don't worry it's the shading tolerance,

Thank you! 

I also had a chat with our design team and they tried various file types, X_T files don't seem to have this 'Tessellation' issue. So i think we'll stick to that file type.
