"Keyshot doesn't like Moi for some reason... "
HI,
I work with Moi and Keyshot and import directly 3dm files in it.
No need to save the file in Rhino.

---

Maybe this changed with some newer version of Keyshot, I can't remember the details.

Keyshot Pro, (Version 6 or 7), will directly import NURBS files, including MoI NURBS files.
It is my limited understanding that the less expensive Keyshot HD does not import NURBs..., but does import meshes.
(I purchased V6 some time ago, but never upgraded to v7)

Correct - I have Keyshot Pro ver 7 and it imports 3DM files from MoI directly.

Hey guys,

I'm using Keyshot Pro 7.2.135.

Just tried a fresh MOI test file. No go. I get a window with a red stop sign "file.3dm did not appear to contain 3D geometry. Inside Rhino, please select View/Shade prior to saving it."

So I always have to re-save my MOI 3dm in Rhino...then open in KS.

Is there some setting somewhere in MOI or Keyshot? Sure would love to get MOI files to open in KS.

Thx,

Mat

In the Import panel > Geometry
Have you check Import Nurbs Data ?

---

Success!

Thanks Finema!

---

great !

Yeah - I don't understand why Keyshot can't turn on their "Nurbs" flag automatically when importing a file with a 3DM extension.

Can a 3DM file be anything other than Nurbs?

"I don't understand why Keyshot can't turn on their "Nurbs" flag automatically when importing a file with a 3DM extension."
because with Rhino 3dm files you can choose in keyshot to import the geometry in Nurbs or not.

Hi Ed.

@You : "...Yeah - I don't understand why Keyshot can't turn on their "Nurbs" flag automatically when importing a file with a 3DM extension..."

Because, as you can see in this screen shot, a 3DM file in Rhino can contain both Nurbs and Mesh objects ;)
