Missing surfaces in STP imports - how to fix quickly?

[HDEAR]

Hi all,

I often get STP files coming in with surfaces missing. They're a PITA to fix.

I tried Surface-->Patch surface - that didn't work well.

Is there a simple quick way to fix these so they're solid?

There is no easy way to replace missing faces.

Let's try to correct this at the source.  Please send a sample STEP file and we can investigate why it's missing faces to begin with if the STEP file does  indeed contain solid data, maybe we can fix the import.

Thanks Dariusz. It works slightly better, BUT, there are still problems with holes, cut-outs etc

Plus when imported in ACIS, the assemblies in relation to each other are skewiff.

send me model and can help. In import you have some use full option. dariusz.leczynski@ironcad.pl

Thanks for the offer Dariusz. Kevin came back to say there was a bug in the translator. 

Meanwhile I have sent you the files to see what you come up with.

Many thanks,

Harley
