3D Interoperability

i am trying to read a parasolid file with R18 and the reader returns a zero length entity list. i have successfully read this file into a variety of cad packages and they show a number of surfaces. does the interop reader only import solids and sheet bodies?

Hello Saif,

What is the content of the Parasolid file? Yes, InterOp works on solids and sheets and its associated data. 

If you want us to take a closer look please create an incident and add the input file, log file and session file and we will review the same. Also please try the translation using R20SP2 (with one of our sample programs) and include that observation in the incident.

Regards,

Yogesh

Thanks the problem is the data is confidential. a question though, can the parasolid only contain faces? we test for solid and sheet bodies but i am concerned that Interop seems to ignore faces unless they are members of solids or sheet bodies. could that possibly be the case here?

the file was acutally a UG file. the file read in properly with R20; it appears the R18 does not handle compressed UG files.
