Creo 11, Someway to transform STEP assembly into Part with multibodys

[DS_8977438]

So when importing large step assemblys as parts there will always be lots of errors and it will take hours.

If its not a complete faliure meaning  "could not construct geometry",  there will at least always be transitions between parts that doesnt work,, and  the model will be a mix of solids and surfaces and very heavy to use.

But when importing step as assembly keeping the parts intact as they were make from the source. There is almost never a problem.

Is there no way to import as part and make the individual parts as bodies so Creo doesnt have to construct new impossible geometry ?
For example Assembly with 10 parts will be Part with 10 bodys.

I'm not sure if this is what you are asking for.

For Creo 1-10, the answer is no. See Article - CS338478 - Import a STEP assembly as a Part with separated Bodies in Creo Parametric

For Creo+ as @StephenW has posted it appears that multibody import of STEP is supported. This should also be true for Creo 11 but I don't know which date code.
