Hi BigSeb>> Regarding triangulation in Alibre...

You probably already know this but have you tried increasing 'curve smoothness' display setting in Alibre before you export? Here are two identical files rendered in Keyshot 'wireframe' from Alibre. The first set at 'coarse', the second at 'Fine'.

Are you stuck with your keyshot only opening files from Alibre? Use MoI as the mesher. It is far superior!

Models going to Alibre? Send them as STEP or ACIS over IGES.

PowerMill is opening your NURBS surfaces. It's not meshiing them.

Unfortunately I think I remember hearing that the Keyshot version that comes bundled with Alibre does not have all the same regular import file support as the regular version does, like it doesn't support OBJ import.

So basically with those importers stripped out you're forced to go through Alibre for generating the mesh into Keyshot's own .bip format and can't use MoI's mesh exporter instead...

At least I think that may be the case.

Its true. My Keyshot only imports/opens bip files.
