the probleme of obj convertor is import triangle wire and not ngone or juste contour line.

thank for reponse

best regard

And you can use some prog like Meshlab for cleaning your mesh before the conversion

Depending of the prog who make the obj ;) (here Zbrush --->Moi)

Hi phillipe,

Actually n-gons are supported by the obj converter.

I've attached an example file - the 8-sided-ngon.obj file has an 8-sided n-gon polygon in it, and the result of running the converter is the 8-sided-ngon.3dm file which has the wireframe outline of the n-gon in it.

But OBJ files cannot have polygons that have holes in their interiors, probably things like that will get converted into triangles when you try to convert from SketchUp to an OBJ file using whatever mechanism.

These are kind of a similar problem as the polygons - curves in SketchUp are made up of a lot of little line segments and are not truly smooth objects, so it would not work very well to try and actually open such things inside of MoI as regular model data and actually try to use them as regular curves like for sweeping, etc..

ok i try , maybe have make a mistake

thank for all

Also maybe the converter has a bug - if you have an OBJ file that does not seem to work with the converter, can you please post it or e-mail it to me at moi@moi3d.com so I can take a look at it?

ok thank no probleme obj converteur work well
