     Translate Free Curves: This option controls the translation of free curves and wire bodies. Set this option to true to enable the translation of free curve data and wire bodies in the destination format.

     Translate Free Surfaces: This option controls the translation of free surface data. Set this option to true to indicate that Translator is to read and translate free surface data.

     Disable Hybrid Body: CATIA V5 understands the concept of a hybrid body. By default, all sheet, wire, and point entities are written with solid bodies under the same Part Body set.
