Hi there,
I've got a STEP file with many self-intersecting objects and multiple distinct parts. A minimal working example is attached.
I would like to create an union of them, or merge them so that they would be one shape per distinct structure to speed up the work with them. How should I do that? Part->Fusion and then setting refine true, does not do the trick.
Thanks in advance!

Re: simplifying imported STEP
If I want to "accelerate" large step files that I need for reference, I convert them into meshes
