I’m trying to transfer a part from Solidworks to Shapr3D. Every time I try and import the .sldprt file, I get an error in Shapr.

If I export the file in Solidworks 2025 format, Shapr says it is an unsupported file version, and to try a previous version. If I export in Solidworks 2024, I get an error saying there are no solid bodies.
