cant see imported files in nx6

[encarlisle]

after I import or open this igs file unless i check knit surfaces in advanced options faces appear and disappear depending on which side they are viewed from. if i check knit surfaces then i cannot delete individual faces to facilitate cutting of the inside faces. is their a setting i inadvertently changed because it used to work.

I tried last night but when i uploaded to engineering.com it froze i will try again now. thanx for your help i tried two sided light no dice. it still freezes at your file is being uploaded.

Try archiving the file with Winrar it may be a file size thing, and anything that compresses it smaller will be a help.

There is an option called 'backface culling'; if I remember correctly it is in Preferences -> Visualization performance (I do not have access to NX at this computer). Make sure this option is NOT set as it will make your surfaces invisible if viewed from the 'wrong' side.

Nevermind, looks like you found it in the other thread.

I think that the good news is that this backface culling is a system setting that once set should make the problem go away permanently. It amazes me that you hadn't struck problems earlier. Presumably it is because the difference is only noticeable with sheet bodies and that the IGES translation being sheets (probably and un-sewn solid) might have been the first sheets you'd encountered in some time.

Thanks guys, I feel like an idiot turned it on the other day and forgot all about it.
Again thanks very much for all the help.
