export from rhino to .stp

[Solid User]

Good afternoon to all.
I have native rhino .3dm files that I must export and then open in solid edge.
I downloaded rhino7, evaluation version valid 90 days.

Once you open the file in rhino, this looks like a set of different objects on different layers. And that's what I expect.
to export: select the components that interest me and then export to .stp, select the ap214 format.when I open the .stp file in solid edge, I find myself a single piece. This piece consists of the only external skins (i.e. if I make a section the components are empty) "fuse together", I no longer have a tree where I can select the individual objects.

Does anyone know how to help me export the file made up of a set including all the separate components?

thanks in advance to all!

hi, if in rhino 3d models were not "closed" when exported are a set of surfaces united but not a solid

Hello, thank you for the answer.
is there a fast/automatic way to close the various 3d models in rhino before exporting?
Hi.

from the menu 'analyze' - "handling" - "show edges". there is then a set of options, always from the edge management menu to melt open borders. there is also the option "join all open edges" and the edge fusion will happen automatically. otherwise you can choose individually the open edges to join each other.
once closed the rhino edges at that point it will consider solid (or closed solid polysurfaces) the figure taken into consideration.

I'm also the first weapons with rhino, waiting for the opinion of the most experienced with this program. But I noticed that in this way you can get a closed mesh.
depends also on the figure taken into consideration, sometimes it is enough to make a "unisci" by selecting the surfaces.

the procedure of @tristus It's accurate, but if you need solid edge, it's useless to waste time working on the rhino file.
It's very likely that while creating the solid with rhino, once exported, you would have the same problem.
the right job is to close the open surfaces, with solid edge, to make it a solid.
not knowing solid edge, I can't help you with the controls to sew the surfaces.
ask in the appropriate section.
