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

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

      Are you trying to exchange data between SketchUp and Blender?

      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....
