Rhino OBJ to Max HELP

We have a client trying to get an OBJ file to us from Rhino. It's 160 MB, it appears to fully load and then only a few faces are visible. Same exact thing in Blender and Mesh Lab.

Are there any know problems/solutions with Rhino OBJ's?

Hi Shaun, non that I know of, but you do have the options in rhino to flip normals and if i remember rightly to unify them too. Might try that and then re-export the OBJ

Rhino has an option to choose between saving NURBS object or polygon mesh objects into an OBJ file.

But the vast majority of programs only expect to see polygon data in an OBJ file. So if they used the option to write NURBS that could be the problem.

Also I seem to vaguely recall that there is also an option to break up long lines of text and if that's enabled that can also mess up some programs as well.

So it could be related to the specific options that they are choosing at export time.

Well Max was no luck but I got Blender to import it. Except is looks very decimated. It's as if it was made in a voxel modeler. There are tiny cubes making up everything.
