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.
