Hi neo,

> Michael is MoI using the same SAT translator?

Probably - as far as I know the nPower products use the HarmonyWare translators same as MoI. MoI uses the HarmonyWare translators for IGES, STEP, and SAT file I/O. The HarmonyWare translator libraries are packaged up specifically to coexist with the Solids++ kernel.

But I am not specifically familiar with the technical details or internals of the nPower products, you would need to ask the nPower / IntegrityWare guys to really find out for sure. (if they use HW libs for SAT in that particular product or not).


But also one other note - the message that you quoted asking about how to use the imported SAT data in Revit was not about a file incompatibility at all but just about what steps are needed within Revit to prepare any SAT import for use as one of their "mass" objects, rather than just a limited "symbol" type object. Just due to the way Revit's UI is set up you can't simply go directly to the import function, you have to create a new mass, _then_ import the data, and then it becomes the surface data for that mass. That's totally separate than file translation issues.
