Importing big Pro-E models into 3DCreate

Sometimes there might be problems when importing big models to 3DCreate using Polytrans add-on from 3DCreate.

Luckily there is a workaround which may also speedup the importing process significantly: Instead of using polytrans loader from 3DCreate, load model to Polytrans and then exporting it to 3DCreate using right options.

1) Start 3DCreate
2) Start Polytrans application (typically in the Program files location "C:\Program Files\PolyTrans\pt.exe")
3) Import ProE assembly using "Translate > Import 3D geometry > ProE native prt/asm (via Granite) file" and select assembly file. Use default options at importing.
4) Export geometry using "Translate > Export 3D geometry > Visual Components ..."
5) Change "Filter Diameter" option ON and Change Diameter value to 100 mm (use minimum 50 mm value). Press OK

Now assembly should load into the open 3DCreate without any errors.
