Moi>Alibre>Keyshot=separate faces?

[nvanlaar]

Am I missing something in this month's newsletter tech tip? No matter what I try I have not been able to produce seperate faces in a *.bip file from Alibre. The only time I get seperate parts is when it is an assembly. I would love for this to work if someone can point me to the procedures.

I have never had an Alibre newsletter. Are these newsletters and the 'tech tips' available on the main site - I had a look and couldn't find them anywhere!

There is a newsletter out? What is the URL of the newsletter?

The newsletter is e-mailed around the middle of each month. Not sure if International user's recieve it or not. Got mine on May 17.

Here is link to newsletter library - looks like this month's isn't posted yet... http://www.alibre.com/company/newsletter-library.asp

Thanks for the link. Now the question is how do I subscribe to get it emailed to me?

I think there is an option box in your account details page.

Why did this get moved (buried) into the MoI forum!? It's actually about the newsletter and Alibre's ability/lack thereof to export seperate faces to a *.bip file.

Nick, I too would like to know if there is an answer to your MOI question.

I tried a second time here and got some more nonsense answers... I don't think it's currently possible, but boy would it be nice. :?

See my post in the thread you linked to, it worked for me. Are you following the steps that Alibre listed exactly? After seperating the surfaces in Moi, you need to export as a .stp, then when you import this into Alibre, it will come in as an assembly, which you can then export as a .bip. This will allow you to color the seperate faces in Keyshot.

Worked for me too! I was very delighted
