A vender is sending us files from ProE of their product.
They've tried STEP and Parasolid but the files come in with missing
faces and SolidWorks can't reapir them.
I'm not sure yet if the vender is willing to part with the native Pro/E files to try that, but is there some setting(s) in Pro/E that I can relay to them that would help? Is this a modeling tolerance issue.
Sometimes the faces are there but not visible......import diagnosis also shows errors with faces that appear correct but apparent aren't.

This is a constant fight here, and too long to answer properly here. First, part of this is indeed an issue with tolerances, which by the way cannot be tweaked in SW thank you very much. The help may come from your vendor, tell them to export only solids, not the surfaces, ask if they can give them to you in IGES and STEP, usually I have found that if one does not work the other does, again, exporting the part with solids only on is a huge key. It also is important that the Pro file is a good file to start with, no overlapping fillets, which pro does great, the part should be made into a solid which helps alot. Just a few thoughts.
