Create a ‘skin’ and ’offsetting’
to create solid geometry from imported Alias models.
NoteStitched
geometry saved to an Alias wire file cannot be unstitched to
its original state.
- Stitch the surfaces to perform a visual
check to confirm there are no gaps.
- Undo the stitch operation.
- Save the Alias wire file.
- Stitch the surfaces again.
- Export the stitched object to a CAI file.
NoteGeometry
not stitched prior to export from Alias will not automatically
create a skin upon import into CATIA.

a quick reference guide if problems arise. See CATIA Requirements.
