Solidworks to MOI ???

 From:  Lewis3D

Hi,

I have some models made in SolidWorks and client exported them to *.IGES and *.STEP but in both cases in MOI u have unjointed surfaces visible as small gaps on the edges or even missing pieces of surface.
So when i export them to Polygons (OBJ) it's not usable for render due those gaps/errors and missing pieces.

In SolidWorks models are perfectly aligned and closed (no gaps or missing parts) and they print on 3D printer just fine (printers usually argue if model is not properly closed/watertight)

But for some reason MOI import them with some glitches/errors (sometime i see some trimmed leftovers which are not present in Solidworks.

So My question is what is the best way/workflow to import SolidWorks models in MOI and have nice solids and not just "joined surfaces" which then are not perfectly aligned ?
I tried patching those small errors in MOI manually, but on export i still see those unwelded points on the polygons (since surfaces are not joined properly in import).

Help.

Thanks
