Assembly/Part STEP import/Edit
Assembly/Part STEP import/Edit
(OP)
Hi all,
Wonder if I can ask for some help and advice. I have Opened a part up from an assembly file, the assembly file was imported as a Step. However, I cant seem to edit the part as it says it is empty. Is there a way of changing the part to a full volume and not just an image or does it have to be remodelled??
Many thanks for any help you can give.

RE: Assembly/Part STEP import/Edit
When I open the assembly up and go to the parts in the tree on the left, I select the part, right click, and go to open. As you say I think it imports only surfaces, I have tried the knit tool but that dont seem to work.
I dont seem to get the option of importing features when i open the step file. It will be a step file from IDEA's and from what i have found in the past there are many errors with importing features from files of IDEAs
Any suggestions
