    I would like to see a 'tips & tricks' session on working with imported parts.

    The approach I take is to use an offset plane to bisect the surfaces, add everything to an enclose (which will normally fail), edit the plane distance with final mode on and move until a part is created.  This will let me do a binary search of which regions are not fully enclosed.

    If you are willing to share an example, I can take a shot trying to enclose it.

    This tool by Onshape's @TimRice might be worth a look:-
