Hi Dave, In this case, the good thing about Away3D was that it took your quadrangles and turned them into triangles, and you can see your model now. The bad thing may be that you have to keep in mind that Away3D works with triangles, so any quadrangles will be split and now you will have double the polygons. This is how Away3D works, so that behavior can be expected!
