STEP IMPORT - Product of product

Post by LINDY06 »

Hello !

I have problems with step import options,
I open a CATIA V5 step file from my company, the step is a product of product of product of parts....

Freecad open the STEP file, but on the treeview, after the 5th or 6th level, i have only Compound object... and i lost instance names

I test a lot of combination of step import option, without results
the latest is :
- Use Linkgroup
- all others are not selected

and Mode : Single document

Any Idea ?

Thanks a lot for Freecad !

Hi and welcome to the forum!

You can try to check "expand compound shape". I wonder how you can get to 5th level without, but that's perhaps due to Linkgroup checked.

Thanks, but .... :D ,

with the option "expand compound shape",
under the 5th level, all parts are on a unique group/assembly "Compound001", and i lost instance part names....

Other idea ?

Thanks very much for the answers !
