The following datasets are translated:
Surfaces, Shells, Curves, Meshes, Point Cloud, Lights (all types), Shaders, Layers, Instances, Groups.
Additionally, the following object modes are also support: Invisible objects in Alias stay invisible when exported to Rhino. Template objects in Alias translate as locked objects. If layer symmetry is turned on, the objects are mirrored across the symmetry plane in Rhino. Reference/Inactive layer is translated as Locked layer.
NOTE: LicenseManger will automatically pop up when the plugin is invoked for the first time. A trial subscription for 10 days can be activated by clicking on the "Trial Subscription" button. Internet Connection is required to enable trial subscription and to activate regular subscriptions.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Are there any known issues with this product?
Limitation: The default layer in Alias is called DefaultLayer and cannot be deleted or renamed.
- Work Around: The translator will rename the layer to "_Default_" so that round trip transfers don't end up with multiple layers called "DefaultLayer".
Limitation: Some trimmed periodic/closed surfaces may not get trimmed properly.
- Work Around: Please detach such surfaces into two before the transfer or convert them to shells, using SurfaceEdit->Stitch function.
Limitation: Some complex multi-level instances might not transfer properly.
- Work Around: Please use Edit->Expand Instances to create real geometry before the transfer
