Thisdescribes my feelings quite accurately 🙂
Yes, any extra info on IDD would really be welcome!
Kind regards,

Hi Jonathan,
Thanks for the link! It'ssimilar to thetutorial that comes with Pro/E, but the pictures are more clear!
The problem that I have with IDD is that it often doesn't find gaps, (or it did, and I repaired the found gaps), but for some vague reason it still doesn't give me the Make Solid option. Mind you, our models are far more complex than the tutorial's example (large molded parts with lots of rounds and details).
I'm very confused about how to find what's still wrong when all gaps are closed, and Pro/E doesn't want to make it a solid. How to go on when this happens?? The Wireframe view gives me a chaotic picture with all kinds of colors, and it doesn't seem to give me useful information...
And if I do a ModelCheck, I get all kinds of warnings and errors, but none that give me a real clue... I tried several models, all with the same (non-) results.
Thanks!
Kind regards,
Jaap
Hi Jaap
Trynew troubleshooter dialog boxin WF5

The Diagnostics wizard extends the Troubleshooter dialog box with a series of new error, warning, and informational geometry checks unique to the Import Data Doctor (IDD) environment.
<h4>Product Information</h4>ProductPro/ENGINEERIn the Import Data Doctor (IDD) environment, the Troubleshooter is asynchronous. You specify which geometry checks to perform and in some instances you also specify threshold values. The analyses and diagnostics are performed or updated when the Troubleshooter starts, settings are modified, or imported geometry is changed in the IDD environment. The diagnostics correspond to the active geometry in the following ways:
You can perform the following diagnostics:
The Troubleshooter in Import Data Doctor helps you to focus on important geometry issues. Repair time is significantly reduced by providing immediate visual and instructional feedback for repairing the geometry check.
