All selected CATPart element types are saved in the ICEM DB. The geometry is converted into the following ICEM DB element types:

CATPart ICEM DB
Point Point
Curve Curve
Surface Face
Point Cloud Raw Data
Mesh Scan
Surface Join Shell
Curve Join Curve Composite
Axis System Work Plane
Planes Work Plane

Attributes to be exported

Export Hidden Elements
Also elements in Hidden mode are exported into the ICEM DB.

Note: In the following cases the underlying surfaces will unconditionally be retracted to the face boundaries:

  • if the underlying surface is smaller than the face.
