Hi @nathanletwory , just stumbled across your Blender 3dm importer video via Luis’s tweet and I’m completely blown away! This seems to be the link that I wished to have for years now.. Did the transport via FBX and OBJ until now but it always was some kind of a hassle. Do you plan on extending that…

Ah cool. Do you mean, Rhino unwields meshes at the export stage? Because Rhino’s Mesh checker tells me " Mesh does not have any non manifold edges." A postproduction “merge by distance at import” option within Blender would be a huge timesaver if this can’t be solved before exporting.

I’ve been using your Rhino to Blender plugin at work (automotive) a lot lately to. It’s been great so far, even if just for not having to deal with messing around with scale setting when importing obj’s into blender. And the fact that it preserves the file structure and layers in the outliner is a g…

Did you install v0.0.10 of the plug-in? Ensure you have the ZIP for Python 3.9, which is the Python version used by Blender 3.0. You may have to restart Blender after installing the add-on.

Yes, I downloaded v0.0.10 from here Release import_3dm v0.0.10 · jesterKing/import_3dm · GitHub
