Hi 3dvisuals dude, I'm glad that MoI has worked to increase your productivity!

I'm glad that you're able to just "flow" with it and let your creativity take you in different directions quickly. That's definitely the idea behind it!

Re: reading OBJ files - I was thinking that one first step for this would be to bring the polygon mesh object into MoI just as a wireframe, with the edges of each polygon being a regular line object in MoI. Do you think that would be useful?

That would be a lot less difficult for me because it wouldn't introduce a new "polygon mesh object type" inside of MoI that would not interact well with the existing set of NURBS-focused tools.

I was thinking that at first I would probably create a stand-alone utility, like Obj23dmWireframe.exe, that could read an OBJ file and translate it into a wireframe .3dm file... If this sounds like it would be useful, I can give that a try in a little while after I get the documentation rolling along a bit.
