hello,

Thanks you for your replies.
I would like to produce MOI 3D models with Vcarve patterns on them for my 3D gallery (it wasn't a cnc question for me). I think i'm going to go back to Sketchup tool (follow me tool) importing 2d open curves (path) from MOI. I thought it wasn't so complex to do in MOI ... I'm going to try.

Pierre.

The problem i have now is opened 2D curves lines on 3D object faces from MOI are not imported in sketchup or 3DS format !!! Damned. A solution ???

I think i have found the solution in Sketchup :

- 1) Fredo curves plugin : great.
- 2) Profile builder from Smustard maybe.

Hi Pierre, if you do a "Save As" and have both curves and surfaces, the curves are not written to SKP format in that case, that's because the curves can be kind of strange in a certain way to export since they get embedded in objects because SketchUp merges things together.

But if you select both surfaces and curves and do a File > Export instead of just a "Save As" then they should export.

Also the curve SKP export can occasionally crash inside the SketchUp library in some cases when it does end up merging some curve vertices together with other neighboring ones so make sure to save your work before doing that kind of export.
