I'm going to be purchasing a license of Rhino v5 along with the T-Splines plug-in, for a customer who regularly requests flowing and/or organic shapes. So I've been doing some playing around with Rhino. One other benefit with Rhino is the fact that it can open and save files in the SolidWorks format, which our CAD/Tooling department uses. I have a MoI file (exported as a STEP file) that I was sending to a CAD operator and I thought that I'd also send a SolidWorks file, to see how it worked for them. When I opened the MoI .3dm file in Rhino, I didn't get what I expected. What appeared to be nice clean CAD data in MoI looked like a very complex (mesh-looking in some areas) file. I've seen some posts on the forum about issues of opening Rhino created files in MoI, but I've opened a fair number of Rhino files in MoI and they seem to have been seamless. What I had in Rhino is what I got in MoI. But, in this case anyway, what I had in MoI isn't what I got when it was opened in Rhino. Is this to be expected or is there a particular method to cleanly opening MoI files in Rhino?
The attached images of a space themed kids mold is an example of what I'm seeing.
Thank-you,
