Who knows is that possible to export from SU to 3ds max a mesh which has a quad topology in order it can be opened in 3ds max as quad mesh (without triangulation)? I have tried different file formats but no success, even tried vray mesh/scene exporter but as far as I know it always triangulate meshe…

[image] yuri_ch: except the fact that UVs are missing sorry, here is my carelessness, it imports textures fine.

Thom, are there any news about it or not yet?

when I import your obj test.obj into SU it is about 40m wide and 64.5km from ORIGIN… the differential ratio of around 1612.5 may be an issue for max… also, it’s material also appears to be a ‘color’ not a ‘texture’ does that matter? john

it’s very strange because when I import this file back to SU it is placed and measured the same as was created. [Screenshot_1] Maybe you have chosen different units when importing a file. [Screenshot_4]

[image] john_drivenupthewall: also, it’s material also appears to be a ‘color’ not a ‘texture’ does that matter? this is just as an example mesh and yes only the color applied here to faces

look what I found. 3ds Max can import it when I switch on an option like “import as single mesh” and looks like everything works fine. But quads are not actually quads as you can see on my gif [obj export]

I’m using my own importer, it possibly defaults to meters and I rescale after… but the ratios the same, this is in a mm template as imported… [odd_obj] does your Template have it’s AXIS set differently to normal? john

[image] john_drivenupthewall: does your Template have it’s AXIS set differently to normal? no, axes were not changed. they are standard, by defaults.

@thomthom aftrer some experiments I think I found something that maybe could be usefull to solve the problem. Well, A mesh could be exported as .obj and successfully imported in 3ds max in both cases: a) in OBJ Import Options Dialog (3ds max) should be selected “import as single mesh”; b) all th…

No. OpenGL has nothing to do with this. It is about the transfer format you use. 3DS is always triangulated, it doesn’t support the kind of polyfaces SketchUp uses, and AFAIK, neither does 3dsMax.
