Converting Rhino3D surfaces to a SolidWorks solid

Gentleman (and Ladies) I need help.

I am attempting to convert complex Rhino3D surfaces (boat hulls, decks,
etc.) into something that I can use in SolidWorks.

The bottom line is that I need to convert Rhino surfaces into
SolidWorks solids. Thus far it has proven to be a very frustrating and
ultimately fruitless excercise.

Any ideas?

 

Are you creating closed shells in Rhino? Open surfs to thicken? What is abs tol
set to? Etc.?

 

Open surfs to thicken?

To that add: With singularites and degenerate edges?

 

are you using SW207 with the new open Rhino file plugin?

Dont know if it's any good however...... I remember that Rhino seemed to
have a Parasolid output a while ago, is this what you're using?

 

is the surface coming straight from rhino ie being createdin rhino or
is it being created in something beforehand

the reason i ask is thet in a previous job i was in spain working on
racing yachts,the software being used for flow modelling was what
created the initial hull MAAT i believe was its name, and then this was
given to the design guys who believe it or not worked it on rhino to
get sectional cuts and 2d autocad before coming to me for detailing

well the geometry was by this point 3rd hand and had degenerate edges
and singularities aplenty especially the bow point it was far easier to
fix in proE than solidworks but 90% of the tim for surface accuracy i
took sectional cuts at "x" dim sometimes 0.5mm and depending on surface
accuracy rebuilt the shape
