not sure if it is MOI’s issue but the step import has filled faces with the follow area while in ALIAS it is as it should be. ![](https://cdck-file-uploads-us1.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/flex002/uploads/shapr3d/original/1X/c2aaa9e9bacfad2675c6b99c8c9cabb16efbffea.png) ![](https://cdck-file-uploads-us1.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/flex002/uploads/shapr3d/original/1X/7c94f1688d15131e00f2bb814cb042d010c3d25d.png)

I imported some STEP files into MODO with the Power Translator and they were all fine. Maybe some MOI issue?

I am pretty sure it is MOI. One of the strongest capabilites of OCCT (the underlying modeling kernel in Shapr) is data exchange. I never had any problem with STEP export with any other modeling app.
