Problem with step file and converting to an allcatpart.
Problem with step file and converting to an allcatpart.
(OP)
I received a step file of an assembly from an external company. My goal is to create an allcatpart for this assembly however when I try this I get problems when trying to use the boolean assemble command. I want to assemble all the bodies into one body. It works for all the parts except for one. While debugging the part I noticed I was not able to put a "pocket" in this particular part. But for all other bodies I can modify. I talked to the company that provided the orginal step and they said the problem is on my side from step conversion to catpart. I am not sure this is the case. The native software is Solidworks.
Any ideas on how to "fix" the part so it can be assembled into the single body?

What results did you receive with GSD intersect solid --> solid. BTW you should do this as a datum item.
