importing meshes

could you add import for mesh formats (polygonal), such as DXF, 3ds or OBJ?
Sometimes I need to precisely reconstruct some parts of models, and it would be nice to use moi to do this.

I do want to do this eventually, but it will probably be a while before I'll be able to do full polygonal support.

What if you could open an OBJ or 3DS file and instead of reading in the object as an actual polygon object, if it just created a line segment for each polygon edge? Basically you would get just the wireframe of the polygons.

Would that be good enough for your reconstruction purposes?

Hi Michael,

I like your idea of importing polygonal data as line segments - its not ideal but it is an excellent starting place.

This would improve my workflow between Wings and MoI enormously - allowing me to leverage the particular strengths of each program.

So, yes! please - add in this functionality. The sooner the better!

Thanks again for making such an awesome modeling program. I'm saving my pennies to purchase it as soon as possible!
