Import a CAD model.

Parameters:

input_filestr: Full path and name of the CAD file.
healingbool, optional: Whether to perform healing. The default is False, in which case healing is not performed.
healingint, optional: Whether to perform healing. The default is 0, in which case healing is not performed.
refresh_all_idsbool, optional: Whether to refresh all IDs after the CAD file is loaded. The default is True. Refreshing IDs can take a lot of time in a big project.
import_materialsbool optional: Either to import material names from the file or not if presents.
create_lightweigth_partbool ,optional: Either to import lightweight or not.
group_by_assemblybool, optional: Either import by sub-assembly or individual parts. The default is False.
create_groupbool, optional: Either to create a new group of imported objects. The default is True.
separate_disjoints_lumped_objectbool, optional: Either to automatically separate disjoint parts. The default is False.
import_free_surfacesbool, optional: Either to import free surfaces parts. The default is False.
point_coicidence_tolerancefloat, optional: Tolerance on point. Default is 1e-6.
heal_stlbool, optional: Whether to heal the stl file on import or not. Default is True.
reduce_stlbool, optional: Whether to reduce the stl file on import or not. Default is True.
reduce_percentageint, optional: Stl reduce percentage. Default is 0.
reduce_errorint, optional: Stl error percentage during reduce operation. Default is 0.
merge_planar_facesbool, optional: Stl automatic planar face merge during import. Default is True.

Returns:

bool: True when successful, False when failed.
