Hi Lewis,

re:

Right, that's because it takes a lot of work to make functionality like progress bars, this is just a bare bones utility program that isn't focused on having any UI.

Most likely the soft cushioning is some kind of object type that MoI does not support like a polygon mesh object.

Moi only reads NURBS and annotation type objects from .3dm files, not every kind of thing that Rhino can store in them.

Sure you can e-mail it to me at moi@moi3d.com, you may need to use a file sharing service if it's very large.

But it's very likely that it's polygon mesh data that MoI is not designed to work on.
