      Right, yes, this plugin doesn't make a face planar.

        now if someone could write an exporter to obj that picked up these pseudo-quads and exported as a quad it'd be pretty sweet.

        Rich, does the OBJ format support non-planar quads?

        Are you trying to exchange data between SketchUp and Blender?

          Yes. But Blender will export a nonplanar quad as 4 tris, well that's how SU imports a untriangulated blender .obj export.

          Not just Blender. Most apps I use exchange nonplanar obj quads

          Why?

            Four triangles?

            Can Blender import this mesh and the quads are restored as quads - or are they now triangles?

            And you provide a small sample OBJ file?
            I could write an export utility into QuadFace Tools.

              What you want?

              Blender .obj export

              SU .obj import saved as .skp?

                OBJ file from Blender with non-planar quads. I'd like to see how Blender generates them.

                  I would be interested as well, simply because I am not so sure that it does such a thing.

                    It does - Blender exports non-planar quads. πŸ˜„ I already got an exporter in the making.

                      Thom,

                      I notice that if I have the move tool selected and then activate auto-smooth it fails to smooth.

                      You may have mentioned that in the video but I missed it...

                        Ah. That world be a bug. As I always tap Space and activates the Select tool, so I didn't test the scenario of having one of Move, Rotate or Scale already activated.

                          copying a mesh with CTRL+Move will make the mesh edges soft/smooth as in this .gif....
