Re: importing models from CAD Does MTL files refer to "Specifies the material library file for the material definitions Yesset with the usemtl statement. You can specify multiple filenames I never tried it but I programmed it that way. You can also cite more than one mtllib line.with mtllib. " from OBJ format? Is IGES easier to convert (by a python script I write) to OBJ so it can be used in SweetHome3D? I have no knowledge of STEP or IGES format. Please provide some links to documents that describe these formats for a CAD novice like me.In other words, which of STEP or IGES is more like a .OBJ file used for a stretchable object in SweetHome3D? So far in Blender, my .obj exports always are given more triangles I'm not sure if it's what you're talking about, but programmers generally implements exportation to OBJ format with triangles, even if nothing prevents from describing polygons in OBJ format (and Sweet Home 3D supports polygons joining more than 3 vertices). so they become meshes rather than boundary-reps. Can you stretch a .obj model with many triangles in it in SweetHome3D? In all cases, that doesn't prevent an OBJ shape to be stretched in Sweet Home 3D or any other software. ---------------------------------------- Emmanuel Puybaret, Sweet Home 3D creator |
