cphfmz Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Hello, More complex forms modelled in Rhino, as e.g. rounded polysurfaces, ends being really messed up in Form Z. I tried various formats, .dwf, SAT, .obj and .3dm, however no one works out very good. - Even if it's just a polygon mesh with one single material on it doesn't render properly. What am I doing wrong? Thank You in advance. Niels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snow Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I had the best luck exporting/importing with 3DS and DAE file formats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smarttec Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 OK so you are all up to date. Doesn't .3DM work? I don't have any recent .3dm files - so can't check? Sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cphfmz Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 Thank you, @snow. The DAE looks decent so far. @Smarttec .3dm works to some extend, however, some geometry is unfortunately very poorly translated - as some screen dumps shows in my first message. I guess I will have to model it from scratch in FMZ to get the result I'm looking for. Thank you for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kac Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 For nurbs I have had the best luck with step files. You may want to import the polyobjects separately using obj. 3dm importer is sketchy in FZ and often has flipped normals on much of the geometry. The object doctor can sometimes fix this but overall rather than messing around with that just use step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
