Hi Micha, that's great that it is working for you now.

Well, I guess it depends on what kinds of things Rhino's OBJ importer will read from the OBJ file.

I don't know if it will read in material definitions or not... These are "usemtl" statements in the OBJ file, which I do plan to generate from the style assignments in MoI (not working quite yet though).

If Rhino's OBJ importer is able to construct layers from material assignments, then I guess you will be all set up.

But if it doesn't, maybe there will be some other possibilities, like if it does read in an object name maybe before generating meshes the export script can be modified so that each object is given a name for the style/layer that it is on, then if that information is read into Rhino it would be possible to have a script in Rhino that would look at object names and put those objects on those layers.
