Happy New Year everyone. Has anyone had any success, or have advice for importing models created with Gravity Sketch VR? GS can output OBJ, IGES and FBX. Having read other threads, I can see why I cannot import IGES file models into MOI (as solids). I suspect there is no workaround, but thought I'd ask ...

Hi Lynno, can you please post a small example IGES file that won't load into MoI?

It looks like there can be different kinds of objects in Gravity Sketch and probably NURBS surface objects could be exported to MoI but not polygon mesh objects.

When you create a surface in Gravity Sketch it sounds like there are options for what kind of object will be created, try setting that option to NURBS when you make a surface.

Also if you can create a sub-d type object in Gravity Sketch then if you can export the sub-d control cage to .obj that could be loaded into Moi using SubD > Create > From file which converts SubD meshes into CAD surfaces.

Looking at Gravity Sketch export options here:
https://gravitysketch.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/6283438761885-Export-Settings
you would want to set the option for "Control mesh" when exporting the sub-d object to .obj for conversion into MoI, then in MoI on the side pane go to the SubD tab and use SubD > Create > "From file".

Thank you Michael - I exported a simple SubD-type object to .obj, then used the MOI SubD tab option - worked pretty well :) I'l keep experimenting ...
