PCF Translator ignores some duplicate components, but not supports.

I'm importing PCF files generated from Plant 3D. Some of the PCF files include segments of connected lines, and I can't figure out how to exclude them when creating the PCF file.

When I do a merged import using the PCF Translator, some duplicate components are ignored, but duplicate supports are imported.

What duplicate components will be ignored, and is there a workaround for my case?

  •  Greetings David, 

    Interesting, 

    My first suggestion would be to confirm that one of the following is enabled in the pcf translator's component tab

    • Ignore Overlapping Components
    • Remove Overlapping part of Component

    If this does not work, would you post here an 2 small portions of these files  that exhibit this condition for review?
