A volume alone will not deformed by a "Wrap box" along edges if it has no section!
But will be deform on its faces (Translation, Rotation, Scale)



Activate Hide Geometry before using Section Tool!
Just Double-Click on a green edge!

I truly wish there was a function or plugin in MOI3D to import Sketchup and FormZ native models.

Hi Kenmo,

re:

Sorry, neither is likely.

Sketchup files only contain polygon data, not smooth CAD surfaces or solids like MoI is designed to work with for modeling. Something that looks like a sphere in Sketchup is actually a whole bunch of little triangles, not a single sphere surface.

FormZ can contain either polygons or CAD solids but as far as I know it's not a publicly documented file format. So it would require an extremely time consuming reverse engineering analysis to figure out how the data is structured.
