I’m working with an imported step file that when originally exported from Rhino had the body divided into different layers. When imported to Shapr its only 1 body, but I see outlines on the body where it’s supposed to be split. I usually resolve this with the explode command in Rhino, or edit geometry in Keyshot, but I don’t see a similar function in Shapr. Any ideas? Should I try exporting the original file in another format?

If your file is.only body ,since your bodies are connecting or conflicting each other, you should give enough gaps (tolerance) between different parts in Rhino , and then export.
