Create a ‘skin’ and ’offsetting’ to create solid geometry from imported Alias models.

1. Stitch the surfaces to perform a visual check to confirm there are no gaps.
2. Undo the stitch operation.
3. Save the Alias wire file.
4. Stitch the surfaces again.
5. Export the stitched object to a CAI file.
   Note

   Geometry not stitched prior to export from Alias will not automatically create a skin upon import into CATIA.

   Review the summary of modeling practices as a quick reference guide if problems arise. See CATIA Requirements.
