Importing Step Files w/zero mass

[Vince_C]

A connector manufacturer sent us a step files which have zero mass and appear to have been created with surfaces.  How can I import these as solid models, with the correct units, density and mass?  I also need these imported step files to appear correctly in the assembly model and drawing as if they are modeled.  Should the settings in the import settings windows be changed?  If so, which settings and what should they be changed to?  Thanks.

Hi,

1.] upload step file

2.] tell us what Creo version do you use

[Vince_C]

I'm using CREO 4.0.

Please upload step file.

I tried to upload the step file but received the error message "The file type (.stp) is not supported......"

Hi,

pack step file into zip file and upload this zip file.

Hi,

I tested step open in Creo 9.0

GMPM2-D112P-SB.STEP

GMPM2-G103P-SB.STEP

• both files were open as solid part automatically

790-027sb-9mep_sw1.stp

790-027sk-9p9mes_sw1.stp

790-036ph-29p7msa_sw1.stp

• all files were opened as surface models ... a repair in IDD would be probably laborious
• I suggest you request files in other formats
• I guess these models were originally created as assemblies in Solidworks
