About Using Creo Parametric TOOLKIT to Import Proprietary Surfaces
With Creo Parametric TOOLKIT, you can import proprietary surfaces. These imported surfaces are treated by the system as a special type of surface feature.
One of the possible applications of a proprietary surface is surface replacement, when solid surfaces are replaced with a Creo Parametric TOOLKIT surface. After the proprietary surface is incorporated into the part geometry, all other geometric operations, such as Offset, Cut, and Round, are available for the surface.

A model containing a proprietary surface can be retrieved, manipulated, or saved only with Creo Parametric TOOLKIT.
Before a surface is imported, a coordinate system must be present in the part for the surface to reference.
