Hi pafurijaz,

There are more problems with this method than just getting really heavy.

It's just fundamentally not the type of data that CAD programs are designed to work with.

No spheres, cylinders, or actual curved objects of any type, just a big pile of trimmed planes.

Usually it isn't a useful result.

This saga isn't over for me yet

I tried reduction in Meshlab but it hangs around the 98% point for the obj file

I did get a 7.3GB subD file from the Alibre IGS in MOI exported as an OBJ file, a testament to MOIs stability

Does anyone know of a Utility for turning a polyline DXF into an OBJ file?

Edit: I'm better off turning an STL into an OBJ file aren't I, duh.
