• If the tessellation of the flexible component is stored, it will be loaded by default

  • The tessellation is the representation of the flexible component in the state it was saved in Creo.
    

• If no tessellation is available the setting m_bFlexCompUseGenericIfNoTess adapts HOOPS Exchange behavior

  • If the value is set to true a generic representation is loaded. It is a representation of the component that may not

  • If the value is set to false , no representation is loaded. The component won’t be displayed.

...

For example, here is the result of a boolean intersection between a cube and a sphere:

...

Depending on the Creo version used, boolean operations may not be fully supported by HOOPS Exchange

• For older versions, only the tessellation generated by Creo will be loaded if available

• If no tessellation is available, the setting m_bBoolOpUseGenericIfNoTess adapts HOOPS Exchange behavior

  • If the value is set to true a generic representation is loaded. It usually corresponds to the base component used without any boolean operation

  • If the value is set to false , no representation is loaded. The component won’t be displayed.

Recommendations

• When a model has a defect in HOOPS Exchange, we recommend to resave the file in Creo, and if possible in a more recent version of Creo.
  

• We recommend trying to work as much as possible with models more recent than Creo 4 for the best results in HOOPS Exchange. If possible, resave the file in a recent version of Creo to upgrade the model.
