[HELP] 3DS import(made by Rhino) has no surface?
-
Don't if there is a quick solution
I've been trying to get a rhino file into SU but the default export options makes the SU files HUGE! I then tried 3DS but the import is Mesh only with no surfaces...
-
Is there a way to import with surfaces?
-
Is there a quick way to build the surfaces from mesh?
Cheers!!!

I wonder if importing the mesh using a larger import unit might help. If the triangles in your mesh come into SU very small, SU might be incapable of filling them with surfaces. Then there is the old trusty findfaces.rb, too.

- use make faces plugin (find it here: http://www.smustard.com/script/MakeFaces)

Export .obj from Rhino
Import .obj to SketchUp using plugin
Rhino's .obj exporter is the most robust around so pay attention to export options.
