formZ and ZBrush

Often having problems with sending files from formZ to ZBrush. Not always, but consistently enough that I'm curious as to the why and wherefore...

 

Here is a small figure that I had loaded into formZ. Source program is unknown.

If I export it as an OBJ and then load that OBJ as a Tool in ZBrush I get a warning that there are about 7000 unused vertices and do I want to discard them. I did and the OBJ loads and I I get this....

The figure will load into Lightwave...

If I then save that file out from Lightwave as an OBJ and load that OBJ as a Tool in ZBrush all is well...

I did have a similar thing happen with objects that I had created within formZ by doing a lot of strange extruding and Booleaning, though in that case and in this, Object Doctor doesn't report any problems with the objects, ZBrush just doesn't like them...

 

I have taken simple test shapes, and some complicated stuff into ZBrush from formZ, but this has cropped up a couple of times. Easy enough to work around, but curious as to what is causing it.

 

Thanks,
