Read Parasolid for USD / USDZ conversion
A Parasolid-to-USD / USDZ workflow combines the Parasolid reader with the USD / USDZ writer. Use it when the receiving application needs USD / USDZ data from an existing Parasolid model.
Read Parasolid X_T or X_B files through the commercial Parasolid interface into OCCT BRep shapes. Use the XDE import layer when supported names and colors must remain associated with the model items.
Prepare a USD scene from the imported geometry
Keep the imported BRep for precise CAD output. For polygonal output, generate a surface mesh with tolerances selected for the receiving application. Check any healing settings against the geometry used in production.
Write USD, USDZ or USDA through the USD component. Map supported names, part placements and appearance into the scene. The component supports meshes, primitives, metadata, materials and animations, but this conversion can preserve only data actually available from the source or explicitly authored by the application.
Validate the USD / USDZ result
This route starts from a Parasolid export, not an arbitrary native file from a Parasolid-based application. Parasolid writing is not provided by the documented import component.
Reopen the scene in the receiving USD application. Compare axis conventions, unit scale, hierarchy, repeated parts and material assignments. Review external resources or packaging for the chosen output variant; the retained CAD source remains the reference for precise modeling.
For a production pipeline, keep a representative source file and its expected geometry and attributes with the conversion settings. Discuss conversion integration with the source and destination applications, or compare the supported format interfaces.
