Subject: Issue with Reading IGES File Generated by ProE
Hi everyone,
I'm encountering an issue with reading an IGES file that seems to have been generated by ProE. When I import the file, it appears that surfaces are also being imported as shapes, which is not what I expect. To verify this behavior, I tried opening the same IGES file in Rhino, and there, the file reads correctly, with surfaces and shapes being distinguished properly.
Furthermore, I used CAD Assistant to validate the reading results, and unfortunately, the issue persists there as well—surfaces are still being imported as shapes. This abnormal behavior is causing significant problems in my workflow.
Has anyone else experienced similar issues with IGES files from ProE? Any suggestions on how to resolve this or workarounds that might help in properly importing the file would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!
Best regards,
DWJ

Hi, I don't know what "properly importing the file" means in your specific scenario. But in case you only want the solid geometry to be imported, how about using
TopExp_Explorerto get it from the shape returned by IGES-importer?Fri, 08/30/2024 - 13:10
Probably you may use 'Only visible' option with IGES import (
read.iges.onlyvisible) in your workflow.
