Hi
My 10 year old son has painstakingly created a new fork in Direct Express, and in order to get modelled, needs to a generate an stp or step file.

We've downloaded the academic version of Creo but cannot see how to import the model. I see in the faq it says it can import stl files but we're having problems getting Direct or Parametric to recognise the file in the Open window. How do we open?
Many thanks

Good afternoon!

If you have a model in STP format, then you need to go to the "Model" tab -> "Get data" (second tab, drop-down menu) -> "Import" to import. Then select the desired STP file, open it, wait for the import, click on the green tick and continue working further.

(from Google tanslate)

I'm using the training version.

Sincerely, Evgrafov Aleksandr.

P.S. If I misunderstood you - describe the issue in more detail. For verification, you can attach any model file created by you to the direct express so that I can try to import the file myself as you need.

Hi there.

Sorry, I don't have the stp format. I have in either pk2, stl, bdl, or vrml formats. Question is how do I open these in full student version?

I have read on this forum that pk2 cannot be opened in the pro version, but does that include the student version too?

Attached is a sample stl file of a piece he created. Before you attempt to open, you need to rename it as a ".stl". Can you find a way to open this?

Thanks..
