When converting a Catia file, it can happen that planes are converted and imported as well. The reason is that planes are stored in Catia's No Show. You needs to disable the "Import No Show" in the import option pannel.
Another advantage is that the parts will have better triangulation because in relative mode, the chordal error is calculated based on the bounding box of your model. Large planes will therefore prevent the program to calculate an optimum chordal error.

Level of details
Seemage can handle with level of details from ProE® and CATIA® files.
In video below, you will see how to:
- set the correct parameters in seemage Sync to have 3 level of details for each part,
- how to load the product in seemage and choose which level of detail
- how to change the level of detail for a specific part

seemage v4.3 novelties
You can see main novelties in seemage v4.3 release:
- Search all has been added in the Quick Search engine (ctrl+F)
- PDF documents can be generated from seemage Sync
- When using TAB key, if K is pressed, then temporary hidden objects will stay in ghost rendering mode
- Simple application for file name conformity between UNIX and Windows
- Support of CATIA® v5 Process Tolerancing & Annotation

Read PMI form CATIA V5 files
Product Manufacturing Information (PMI) are important manufacturing specifications.
It includes Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T), Functional Tolerancing and Annotation (FT&A). Seemage solutions can read PMI from different CAD systems. If it comes from a CATIA V5® file (CATPart), we recommand to not enable PMI and "Import graphic data" (CGR) at the same time.
Catia V5® - DLNames
If CATIA® V5 uses a directory structure which separates the CATProducts from the CATParts, it might happen that when you try to open a CATProduct you get the message “Loading assembly error, try flat method”. It is enough to copy DLNames.CATSettings from CATIA® environment and paste it in : C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\DassaultSystemes\InterOp\CATSettings
Fully shattered structure
It is possible to translate CATIA® V5, JT® and ProE® files into seemage fully shattered files structure. So instead of getting a SMG file from a CATProduct, we can have :
- one smgXml file per CATProduct
- one smgXml+smgGeom files per CATPart
And for ProE®, it will be
- one smgXml file per .asm
- one smgXml+smggeom files per .prt
This solution allows to use level of details and loading on demand. Also, if a part changed in the CAD, it is enough to translate only this CATPart (or PRT, JT) and replace previous one.
This translation mode is available in seemage Sync only
