BIM Q&A | How to Modify Files by Importing Them from SolidWorks to Rhino

IGS and STP file formats serve as common intermediate formats for transferring models between various software platforms.

For example:

• SolidWorks can export files in IGS or STP formats.
• Rhino can import these IGS or STP files.
• Similarly, Rhino can export in IGS or STP formats, which SolidWorks can then import.

However, since these formats are universal, they do not retain the original file’s parametric data. This means that features such as mating relationships, color settings, and part attributes within an assembly are lost during the transfer process.
