Conversions for solids-based applications

Common limitations you may encounter for conversions to solids-based applications

Updated over 4 months ago

Solids-based applications include:

  • Inventor

  • Pro-E

  • Rhino

  • Solidworks

What to expect from your conversion

While conversions for different solids-based applications will yield different results, most will have the following limitations:

  • Models over 20,000 polygons may not convert to a solid-based format.

  • No textures or materials will be applied.

  • If conversion is possible, you will receive geometry only.

  • Simulated detail from bump/normal maps will not convert as this is not part of the actual geometry.

  • Objects/features generated from plug-ins may not convert.

  • Geometry may be fused into a single object and may not be editable.

  • Geometry may be faceted.

  • Layer information will not convert.
