        Can you scale up the models before importing into SU? If you can then I suggest you scale up x100 before importing, then scale back x0.01. SU has difficulties with small features (<1 mm).

          After scaling up, if that is what is needed, run Makefaces.rb, available here: http://www.smustard.com/script/MakeFaces

            With what method of exporting and importing are you using? I have found that the simple file extension is not the only factor, but through which programs and which files your data has gone through makes a difference.
