Yes. Is this just a product of how provider exports or something else ? If contacting provider do I refer to this feature/ability as "object name properties" or something else ? Thank you

Hi Sven, sorry that doesn't have to do with name properties after all.

That's not really anything specific to STEP file format versions or export options, it's just differences in how the modeling was done.

In the case you don't like they did booleans to combine pieces that touch together into a larger single object.

The one you do like they left individual parts alone and did not boolean union together parts that touch.

I guess you'd say something like "Do you have a version where individual parts such as nuts and bolts are separate objects instead of booleaned together?".

But I kind of doubt they would have it, they have gone through some additional modeling effort to produce it this way.

Probably with the goal of eliminating geometry that is not visible because it's contained inside other parts, to attempt to reduce file size perhaps.

- Michael
