Hi,
Some IGS files are imported incorrectly. What could be the reason? The IGS in the two screenshots here come from Solidworks and have the same export settings.

Hi Chico, it could be a bug in the MoI importer or a bug in the SolidWorks exporter. Is it possible for you to post the file or if you want to keep it private e-mail it to me at moi@moi3d.com ? It's hard to know what's going on without being able to examine the file and see how other programs also deal with it.

But I'd recommend using STEP format instead. It's newer and in general better supported.
