I have a fairly detailed model that is currently an Editable Poly. I need to get this into an IGS or .x_t parasolid filetype. For some reason, when I convert to Patch, then to Nurbs (to try to make it IGS) it takes forever, and the computer ultimately freezes.
Is there an easier way, or perhaps a plugin that will do this conversion?
thanks

You can't convert poly/mesh to nurbs or brep (I assume you want to get it into Catia, Pro-E, etc?). I've inquired and Okino, nPower, and Dassault all say it can't be done. Sorry. If it turns out they're all wrong, let me know! It would save me lots of remodeling. Maybe bringing it into another app as point cloud data and reconstructing the surfaces could work, but you'd have to tell the app where your edges are, etc., but the basic nurbs interpolation through points should be pretty trivial, esp. if you broke the model up into easily-defined surfaces.
