CAD -> C4D - Best workflow?

Hi,

Arriving here after some recommendations to use Moi to translate between CAD (IGES/STEP) and C4D for some models I need to transfer.

Does anyone have a "best practice" on how to do this?

Also, since I'm only interested in the exterior "surface" (i.e: what's visible), is there anyway to ignore anything inside the object not visible? Forgive me I'm no engineer. I just need to render a nice looking product animation.

This is something over the years that has always caused SO many headaches (PolyTrans!). These days more-so, especially since only Mac based. Most google searches are 5-6 years old.

Any tips or opinions appreciated.

Best,
John
