CATIA V5 - How to import IGS surfaces into V5 then Thicken

This is demo that shows how you can turn IGES surfaces into something usable. The idea is you join all the surfaces together and then copy them to a new part file so that you can thicken the model.

Bad option...

Best way to this just change the import mode to "map the 308/408 iges entities onto a product structure" in
Tools-->Options-->Compatibility-->in iges tab.

Noe import/open the igs file & you will get individual parts with product structure.

Enjoy.......

Ram,

Thanks for the input. You have a good suggestion. However, this part was not desgined in an assembly and, therefore, will insist on bringing it into a part anyway. I ran the part thru and ended up with the same results you saw in the video.
