3ds Max IGES to SW

Hi,

I’m running some tests to see if NURBS objects created in 3ds Max and exported as IGES files, are useful in SolidWorks.

I created the attached model with NURBS tools in 3ds Max. I can import it into SolidWorks, but it gives errors regarding gaps in the model. I'm not an experienced SolidWorks user, so I don't know how serious this "gaps problem" is. Would a SW user consider this model useful, or would the gaps need to be fixed, either in SW or before import? Are there any other problems with this model that would make a SW user think it's not useful?

Thanks for your help.
