CAD Import Missing Geometry

Greetings,

Currently working out the best possible import settings I can get on these guys but, no matter how hard I try I get these missing bits of geometry in the corners. I understand they could be “flipped normals” however I tried editing them in the mesh editor and not only is it not selectable but selecting the faces around it to unify doesn’t seem to work either. So either the mesh came in with no faces or it’s unable to recognize the command to flip that specific normal.

If anyone has import options they wish me to try I’ll give them a go and update this with another image with those settings.

The image provided was imported at;

.05 cm - chord tolerance
.5 cm - max edge length
15 degrees - normal tolerance
stitching heal

As a side note the model is an .x_t file type (Solidworks).

Welp, one step at a time… After taking the necessary steps to export the the model and applying the 4.23 Preview version for retessalate, it indeed fixed the holes appearing on the geometry and even reduced the polygon count to a considerable amount compared to when it was first imported. Next issue is how 2 parts of the model had these really messed up normals but, other parts of the model looked perfectly preserved. Even though it had the same shapes, curves, and cutouts as the other pieces.
