No problem Leonard, I'm glad that you are getting the results you wanted now!
Yeah with that normals tag still in place, it was basically trying to use the shading information from the original imported mesh which did not match your edited result any more.
Re: Riptide - if I remember right, there is some stuff that Riptide supports that the stock OBJ importer does not... I think it might have been reading in the material colors from the companion .mtl file.
So although Riptide does not seem to be necessary for bringing in the basic geometry, if you want to bring in all materials on a more complex model where you may have a few dozen styles set up in MoI, then it may be more useful.

Michael, it seems every time you help someone out, you expand my knowledge about the subject. The Riptide comments you volunteered explained some of the how and why of Riptide that no other source has provided. Also, no fragmented odds and ends from you; you always provide the full explanation. You are a one and only. Thanks again.
BTW. If you could harvest the nuggets you, and others, have provided here it would make one hell of a manual or six. Coming from you, the manual would certainly be more useful than most.
Leonard
