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.
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: Whether to import material names from the file if present. The default is False.
create_lightweigth_partbool ,optional: Whether to import a lightweight part. The default is True.
group_by_assemblybool, optional: Whether to import by subassembly. The default is False, in which case the import is by individual parts.
create_groupbool, optional: Whether to create a group of imported objects. The default is True.
separate_disjoints_lumped_objectbool, optional: Whether to automatically separate disjoint parts. The default is False.
import_free_surfacesbool, optional: Whether to import free surfaces parts. The default is False.
point_coicidence_tolerancefloat, optional: Tolerance on the point. The default is 1e-6.
heal_stlbool, optional: Whether to heal the STL file on import. The default is True.
reduce_stlbool, optional: Whether to reduce the STL file on import. The default is True.
reduce_percentageint, optional: Percentage to reduce the STL file by if reduce_stl=True. The default is 0.
reduce_errorint, optional: Error percentage during STL reduction operation. The default is 0.
merge_planar_facesbool, optional: Whether to merge planar faces during import. The default is True.

Returns:

bool: True when successful, False when failed.
