I am testing out Shapr3D for the first time on my iPad Pro. I have downloaded some files from GrabCAD, but when I try to open assembly files the import fails, saying “Operation failed because the resulting body wouldn’t be valid”.

The part files I have downloaded is opening without any problems.

Thank you for any help.
