I exported a file to be opened with Creo, it roundtrips fine into Rhino, but they get the following error repeated several times:
ATTENTION: Fonction importée est entièrement à l’extérieur du modèle.
ATTENTION: Arete à un seul bord trouvée dans Fonction importée.
What does that mean?
I’m going to assume that Fonction here is poorly translated. It may be wanting to mean “Feature”… In that case it makes more or less sense:
CAUTION: imported Feature is entirely outside the model.
CAUTION: A singular edge found in imported Feature.
(could also be a naked, unjoinable or in some way bad edge I guess)
Maybe @Marc has a better idea…

That’s pretty much the meaning we can extract from these messages…
I wonder if the first message mean that a trim curve does not lay on the surface, a common problem in transfers.
Imported Feature is entirely outside the model
Could be Creo imported as surfaces rather than solid. This is defined by a color. No worries if that was the intent.
A singular edge found in imported Feature.
Dunno. Sounds like surface/solid issues. Try Creo repair tools on import.
STEP is the go to for me between Rhino and Creo. If there are issues with STEP then I’ll try IGES. It is model dependent. Though illogical, once in a while STEP out and IGES in, or vise vera, yields a better result. Trial an error sometimes. Send (as for) both as best practice.
I’d ignore the message as long as you/they can perform the necessary functions, or do repairs if necessary. Sometimes Rhino refuses to bring back in a Creo solid (former Rhino export) as a closed polysurface. In that case, if you need a closed polysurface, hunt down the issue and fix it in Rhino if several export formats fail.
