How do I import CAD (stp) with separate faces?

When I import a lens as a step file, the whole object is one surface one face.  How do I get separate faces?
I’ve tried saving the object in CAD SW as exploded vs. solid, I’ve tried exploding the CAD in OpticStudio, nothing worked.

Thanks

Hi @s.ng,

 

Can you share this file with us? Is it an assembly or a single part?

Take care,


David

Thanks David, but I figured out a workflow to get it to work.  In the CAD SW I explode twice or explode blocks and then group back into a solid and then it imports into Zemax with individual surfaces.
