Free vertex as SAT file root ?

Hello,

 

Is vertex valid as a direct root of the SAT file ? The SAT specification specifies that roots must be of the type 'body' but when I try to convert an IGES file with root points (type 116) using ACIS InterOp, it creates a SAT file without bodies. Please see enclosure.

RADF Viewer can read and save back this file but does not visualize the vertex or display it in a tree view. Other viewers may fail to import (e.g. Delcam, supposedly expecting body entity as a root), or may display (CAD Exchanger) .

 

So, what is a correct way to store a free vertex:

a). as root vertex (i.e. the way InterOp does)

b). as body->lump->shell->wire->(degenerated)edge->vertex

c). as body->wire->(degenerated)edge->vertex

d). something else ?

 

Thank you for clarification.
