Hi RMA team, I wanted to report that the quality of imports nurbs and meshes continues to be a huge problem for me to keep using Rhino as part of a much larger workflow. Rhino used to excel in being one of teh best programs in terms of import/export, but I think this needs a lot more attention late…

Thanks Nathan, I can try making a few smaller files tomorrow and report back. For us FBX takas more priority. Ideally I want to be ably to bring a nested FBX assembly into Rhino, do stuff like mesh booleans, or mesh morphing (deformation tools), or IV unwrapping; then render in a Rhino plugin (it co…

[image] gustojunk: it could be yours if presets are built in What kind of presets are you thinking of?

@gustojunk Please send me any STEP files that are giving you trouble. I’ve probably spent more time on STEP import than anything else for V6. Just since the start of the year, it looks like about 30 bugs have been marked as fixed. I still have quite a few on my list, but it’s always worth having …

Right, I flagged the wrong guy. Sorry @tim :slight_smile: I keep forgetting that @chuck is the STEP guy /Nathan

not trolling, I didn’t realize you meant materials and environments :slight_smile: I thought you meant tvings like film and camera presets, color correction, etc…

@nathanletwory , here’s a simple example. this one is triple bad, since it imports into rhino as: unnamed materials transparent material default that if you don’t have mesh wires on you think your display pipeline is broken no layers (this worked before, maybe is because there are no locators, only…

Ha! ok, I think materials, environments, render quality/resolution presets are all needed. Without them a render engine is as useful as car engine. People want transportation. Some of them buy cars, no one (as scale) buys a car engine, nor does know what to do with one even if given for free.

[image] chuck: Please send me any STEP files that are giving you trouble Hi Chuck! How many is too man? because I have binders full of bad step files.[quote=“chuck, post:8, topic:41621”] If it works well, we can add an option to the import dialog. [/quote] do you mean options to not have bl…
