i also use moi & keyshot on a mac, export to .stp and import
into keyshot with the old importer. tessellation will be done by keyshot
and you get smooth surfaces, plus all your defined parts....

Just tried that here but it failed to import, Keyshot says no geometry, strange the file is almost 80mb - lol .... Obj stays the flavour that suits, for now.

Thanks for the info though schneich

Martin

it works! you must klick on "advanced" and select "old importer"...
also i use keyshot version 2.2


cheers

This is version 3.099 and i did click advanced and old importer was selected but it still said no thanks. It's not a biggie, OBJ will do

Martin

Edited 16.08.2012 - Iges import does work in version 3 too. However, you should not use the old importer and when exporting to iges file, you will need to hide or delete any curves or Keyshot will bomb out with a "no 3D geometry found" error.

Hope this helps anybody else with the same problem ....

Martin

good to know...


thanks

Hi Martin,

The current KS Version is: 3.3.15

Hi Ralf, thanks for the message, yes 3.3.15 is the latest release but it has nothing added to it to be of any value to me to install it. If it aint broke don't fix it applies to me. Plus it's not my copy (yet), and I need more time than Luxion allow to test things because i actually spend the vast majority of my day having to take care of my disabled wife. Sadly most companies don't take these circumstances into account, and that does sadly include MoI, but a 200 quid gamble with MoI and it's excellent support from its users and from Michael is far safer than a 2000 pound gamble with Luxion when they cant even answer a question about how come they can interpret IGES NURBS, but not MoI/Rhino ones. So for now Keyshot is experimental to me at this time and is likely to stay that way until i can afford the gamble or until my friend wants his back.
