Hi Michael,
So far I've only used IGES files that have been created in ZSurf4 & they've only been as a textured type surface.
So far this process has worked extremely well, allowing me to Trim those IGES surfaces & pretty much do anything I wanted with them.
Now that I have 3D-Coat, I decided to try making a texture within it & Export that out as a OBJ file.
My plan then was to Import that 3DC created OBJ file into Rhino & then Save it out as a IGES file for use in MoI.
Great plan if it'd work, but unfortunately it didn't because Rhino wouldn't allow the solid object to be Saved as an IGES file?
But due to my total lack of experience with the IGES format, I'm not really sure why it didn't work or even if it's possible to achieve what I want in Rhino4?
I did notice when saving the IGES that there's a drop down list of various different output choices, but I just used the Default?
With all those choices is there one that I should be using for this to work, especially if I'm then wanting to Import it for use in MoI??
Hope all of that makes sense.
Let me know if you'd like the OBJ file or perhaps the R4 3DM with it's Saved in.
regards Colin
