[Pic] What are all these datum planes after importing a .IGS file into Creo3?

123123.png

Disclaimer :  In 3DsMAX i had an editable poly car model . Knowing i can only import the model into CREO3 as NURBS a in .IGS format , i converted the editable poly -> editable patch -> NURBS.   After I imported the model in .IGS into CREO3, it imported the model correctly, but created like a hundred unnecessary datum planes.

Q : How could I get rid of all these datum planes ? Why were they created?

-Is there a way to simply delete all?

-Could Import Data Doctor help with this? A way to shut off creating these planes?

-Maybe I should try a different import method? like .STL format?

I just need this model as a half-transparent "background sample help" to recreate the car  in Creo3.

Thanks for help in advance.

On the model tree, click on feature "import feature id 5" with right mouse button (RMB) and select "edit definition".

RMB again and select (IDD).

In model tree you will have now a group called "Datums" Select it and delete it. This will delete all the imported datums.

Press "ok" "ok" and it's done.

Thanks very much:)

Also here I could delete every broken, misplaced faces and edges, with all the datum planes.
