Thanks! I have tried to use shrinkwrap, and this seems to work fine onsmaller models without many details. But when I try to convert largerassemblies, inventor crashes and I have to start all over :/

... inventor crashes and I have to start all over

 

What version of Inventor? Have you installed all Service Packs and Hot Fixes?

I use shrinkwrap often with no problem so I cannot think other that what JD said. Derived part should work (open a new part and click derived part then select the assembly) If all else fails delete the inner workings and leave the shell.

Shrinkwrap will not work on large models (eg. over 3k parts). and shrinkwrap (even as a single solid) can be reversed by saving as STP and and then reopening in inventor.
