About Accessing Import DataDoctor While Redefining Imported Features
Import DataDoctor (IDD) is available on the Import tab when you insert non-native part models in existing parts or redefine the imported features that are created by the insert task. The Import tab opens when you click > > to insert non-native part models in existing parts. To access IDD (
) on the Import tab while redefining imported features, you must right-click an imported feature on the Model Tree or the graphics window and click 
on the mini toolbar that appears or click > > Edit Definition.

Add Bodies—Creates solid bodies that correspond with the bodies of the imported feature and includes the new bodies in the existing parts.

The resultant solid geometry then populates the empty bodies.

Add Material—Merges the solid geometry of all the bodies of the imported feature and adds the merged geometry to the default body of the part or the body designated as the default.

Add Surfaces—Adds the geometry of the imported feature as surfaces to the existing part without contributing geometry to the solid body. The solid geometry of the bodies of the imported feature is available as quilts.

When you reload a source file or add geometry from a file that consists of standard or curve-type import features, you can access IDD on the Import tab to retain or delete surfaces and quilts that are added or reloaded from the selected file in the new node that is created in the Geometry and Structure (GTS) Tree. You can use IDD to remove the surfaces and other entities from the original geometry and replace them with surfaces and entities from the new node.
