Save As Part (Exterior Faces) causes new part to have gaps

[josephv]

Hello,

Has anyone run into this problem?

1) You have an assembly
2) You save it as a part (Exterior Faces)
3) You open the new part and see gaps (i.e. missing faces) in the surfaces

We are running into this problem with some assemblies that were imported from NX as parasolid. Our VAR thinks it maybe an issue with the imported data, but we are not so sure since parasolid is usually robust, and because I have seen this problem before with large SolidWorks assemblies that had no imported data.

Your thoughts on this problem are welcome.

If there were gaps in the NX parasolid, then SW would not be able to create a solid ... right? So it must be the Save as function causing the problem.

I am with you CBL, and will talk with the VAR about this.

In the meantime, anyone run into this?
