Spaceclaim: Missing faceted bodies, probably corrupted

  Hi,
  
  I tried to open a project but some faceted bodies didnt show on screen while being in the structure tree. The facet icons are grey instead of blue. Some other faceted bodies did load properly.
  
  I'm on 2019 R2.
  
  Is there any chance to get those faceted bodies back to life?
  
  Thank you

  Hello Armand KOCH
  
  I am not sure how to retrieve such faceted geometry. Are you able to share the file so that I can try out some options?

    Naresh Patre I'm sorry but I can't since those geomety are not individual files but parts of a saved assemby.

  Hello Armand KOCH
  
  I am not sure if the below mentioned steps can help to retrieve the geometry, but can you try it out?
  
  - any scdoc file is a zip file. So you can unzip the scdoc file using any unzip utility.
  
  - after unzipping, go to SpaceClaim - Geometry folder
  
  - Open the parasolid file (*.sab) file in SpaceClaim.
  
  If this doesn't help, then I am afraid there is no other option to retrieve the geometry from the corrupted file.

    Naresh Patre Thanks a lot for your help. Sadly, none of the .sab files refers to the missing facet geometry parts.
    
    I don't know how to retrieve the geometry of those parts.

  Hello Armand KOCH
  
  I will check with the team if there is any way to retrieve the geometry, and let you know.

  Unfortunately there doesn't seem any other option to retrieve the geometry from the corrupted file.
