Hello Michael,
it seems to be something wrong when exporting with the OBJ format.

I have an open cube here (fig. 1).

In OBJ format, in Keyshot it is displayed as a closed body. (fig. 2) - not correct
In FBX format, it is displayed as an open cube. (image 3) - correct

The same applies to this construction (fig. 4) in OBJ format (fig. 5) - not correct

Can you check that, please?

Thanks in advance

Hi Moritz, I think it's because Keyshot doesn't like to process complex n-gons. So when you do the export out from MoI in the meshing options dialog that is shown change the option from "Export: N-gons" to "Export: Quads & Triangles".
