Re: Victor SP model help

Wow, that is a bad STEP file. It was output from an assembly as a single part and it has some bad geometry in the middle. Best I could do was remove the wires and connectors in IDD mode. See attached. It would take some time to try and clean this up to the point of making it solid. For now, you'll have to work with it as a surface model until we can get a better STEP file from VEX.

It will look solid when shaded, but it will be purple and yellow in wire frame. Yellow edges are the open edges with no corresponding surface.

You will not be able to do hidden line removal in a Creo drawing with this model either. That is the biggest downside to bad imported surface models. I had the same problem with one of the viair compressors.
