      Hello,

      I do a lot of importing geometry of sketchup into 3ds max. One big problem is that 3ds max don't understand nested groups or nested components. For instance, if I have a window component made by 3 groups inside the component, max will import the 3 separated meshes. This is a big problem when you have a complex model. Sometime ago, Eneroth created a plugin that prevents edges to break when they intersect each other. I was wondering if it could be possible to create something similar to this that would prevent coplanar faces and edges to stick to each other. I don't pretend to use it for modeling, so that's how I think it could be used: After you create your model in SU, using groups and components, I could toggle this button and it would disable sticking geometry. Then, I could explode the nested groups or components leaving only the primary group or component with nothing but the geometry inside(no more nested groups or components inside). After that I would save and import the geometry to max. I'm not sure if this is possible but it would be very nice.

      Cheers,

      Caetano

        This is not possible.

        I'm not here much anymore.
