      SU to OBJ to meshlab
      SU to OBJ to wings
      SU to STL to meshlab
      SU to STL to wings
      Even wings to OBJ to meshlab results in triangles. Which is the most appropriate file type?

      Untriangulation works perfectly in wings, but when I export again the quads turn into tris.

        STL doesn't support quads unless the tri'd face is coplanar

        OBJ does.. You can export to Blender Quads as OBJ with QuadFace Tools. But firt the mesh needs to be QF compliant

            Quads in SU is easy once u adopt the strategy.

            AutoSmooth helps a lot. So does vertex tools.

              Yeah because I'm making sure my model contains 100% quads before subd and almost 100% quads after subdivision and even then they are actually triangles when I export it. Even if the model is symmetrical, the triangles are not. I wouldn't even be bothered if the triangles were somehow symmetrical along the mirror line! I always have to remesh my SU export. Can you perform isotropic surface remesh in blender? now that's how you'd get a perfect voronoi or snakeskin every time! πŸ˜†

                                          takes about 2mins to do on less complex forms

                                            We should compare notes some time....can do it quite easily on really complex forms with meshlab now. I would literally pay for an undo button though.
