Tool library Solid models help

[CoonDogWillie]

I wanted to build a solid model tooling library and start using them to verify my toolpaths.  From what I hear it's the greatest thing since... yes, sliced bread.  

Shortly after I began the process I got frustrated.  I must be doing something wrong.  I ended up following along with a youtube 

After going through the tuts import process I can't believe it's correct although the results are better that what i get when I pull the tool solid moder in.

 This is the result the tut on youtube showed after import.  

 

I downloaded a GTC package, a DXF, and a 3d step from sandviks site and got THIS.  This is what should be the model for a keyseat/slot mill cutter.  I would expect the solid model to show the inserts or some sort of detail.  Please, tell me where I went wrong and what I can do to achieve a better representation or if this is the best case scenario please let me know I drank the kool-Aid and yes, this is the big let down.

Per the ISO standard a spun profile is what the committee came up with for use in CAM systems and that is what Sandvik and other are supplying. There are some that have the inserted body with no inserts and you can then download the insert and place it, but it serves no real purpose for toolpaths since all CAM spin the profile to make toolpaths with. Through up a file with different holders and tools so we can help sort this out.

Thank you so much for your response!  I get somethings together and post asap.  It's another busy day at the salt mines.
