About Interface for Rhino
The Interface for Rhino is a plug-in data exchange processor based on Creo Granite. You can use it to import *.3dm part files from Rhinoceros as part and assembly files. Creo supports imports from Rhino 1 to Rhino 7.
If there is geometry on more than one layer in the *.3dm file, the exact geometry on each Rhinoceros layer is imported as a separate part with a flat-structure assembly file. The following information is included in each part as a single import feature:
Surfaces
Datum curves
Open quilts
Closed quilts
In addition, each facet body on a Rhinoceros layer is included in the Model Tree as a separate facet feature.
You cannot import the information on hidden layers. You can edit the import features using Import DataDoctor. Closed quilts are automatically converted to solids during the import.
