Hi Dirk, just one other comment if you want to submit this to Maxon as a bug report, I would suggest deleting all the other polygons except for just one single one that has the black thing on it (but before yanking the points around), and then sending a file in with just that one n-gon in it as an example of the triangulation problem.

It helps a lot with bug reports to have the most simple data set possible that shows the problem.

It may not be a very easy thing to fix though, it can take a pretty big re-working of the triangulation mechanism to make one that does not back itself into a corner like this.

If you're having problems getting OBJs into C4D, I recommend you try the RipTide plugin:

http://skinprops.com/fr_rtdocs.htm

C4D is known to have quirks and limitations to its OBJ importer hence the reason why RipTide was created...

Thanks Will,

i`ve just tried Riptide, but unfortunately it doesn`t work in this case.
By the way, is it possible to direct someone directly to this thread?

Usually all the way at the bottom of the page there's an "All" link or "1-nn" link, those will also take you to the first post of the thread you're in. ;-)

Hi Dirk, also if you look in the upper-right corner of a message there is a link up there, like this one should say something like "1620.21 In reply to 1620.18"

Those little links are "permalinks" to an individual message, you can right-click on it and copy that address to the clipboard to give to someone else. If you want to give a link to the whole thread, go to the first message and grab it's permalink.

"i`ve just tried Riptide, but unfortunately it doesn`t work in this case."

Sorry to hear it didn't work out for ya - Keith is presently tuning up his plugin and he's taking input from this thread here:

You may want to pop in and mention the problems you had or if you have some suggestions etc.
