About Redefining the Imported Features of Child Features Located in the Bodies
After you open non-native part and assembly models as non-Creo models in Creo, you can redefine the imported features of the child features that exist in the bodies of standalone part models and the part components of assemblies. To redefine the imported features of the non-Creo parts and assemblies, select an imported feature on the Model Tree and click 
on the mini toolbar or click > > .
on the mini toolbar or click > > . | The Import tab opens with Add Bodies as its only option. The Add Material, Remove Material, and the Add Surfaces options with the Body Options tab are not available on the Import tab as these options change the body structure of the imported feature. |
The Add Bodies option creates solid bodies that correspond with the bodies in the source models and adds them to the non-Creo models so that the body structure of the non-Creo models is the same as the non-native source models before they were opened in Creo. Closed quilts do not contribute geometry to the solid bodies and bodies are not created for the closed quilts.
You can click

on the Import tab to access Import DataDoctor (IDD) and repair the imported feature of a non- Creo models in IDD.| | IDD warns you that repairs and other changes made to the geometry of non-Creo models are lost when you perform an update using Associative Topology Bus (ATB). An ATB update removes the repairs that you made to the non-Creo models in IDD because these modifications in IDD are not Creo Parametric changes. The warning message asks you to wait until the design of the non-Creo model is finalized or solidification of the bodies is necessary to continue work in Creo. |
You cannot click > on the Import tab and add geometry from an external file to the imported feature of a non-Creo model.
