Hi Micha,

That is supposed to work, and does work in Rhino v3, for example here is a box I created in Rhino v3 and assigned a name:



Then when opening up the file in MoI, that name is assigned like you want:




If you are seeing different results, can you please post a sample 3DM file that does not work?

I found the reason for the confusion - it's the script for open rhino documents for meshing. I found the function AssignObjectNamesFromStyles();, set it as comment and it works now. Since I found no rhino script for layer keeping I can keep my object names.

Thanks,
Micha

function AssignObjectNamesFromStyles()
{
// Set object names to be their Style name + unique number.

var objs = moi.geometryDatabase.getObjects();
var styles = moi.geometryDatabase.getObjectStyles();

for ( var i = 0; i < objs.length; ++i )
{
var obj = objs.item(i);
var name = styles.item(obj.styleIndex).name + '§' + i;

// Replace all spaces with underscore characters, since spaces don't work as
// object names in OBJ files.
obj.name = name.replace( /\s/g, '§' );
}
}

function Convert(FileName)
{
var gd = moi.geometryDatabase;

// Open the file, set 2nd param to true to suppress any save changes prompt.
gd.open( FileName, true );

AssignObjectNamesFromStyles();

moi.view.resetAll();

// Create the output file name by breaking off the file extension and adding 'obj'.

OBJFileName = FileName.substr( 0, FileName.lastIndexOf('.') + 1 ) + 'obj';

// Save out to the output file, passing the option to suppress the UI. You

Convert('d:\\Temp\\#moi.3dm');

moi.exit( true ); // Pass true to suppress save changes prompt.
