Hi Alessandro, Just turn of various elements of the osgUtil::Optimizer.
osgconv --help-env And then look for the entry about OSG_OPTIMIZER. To switch off the optimizer just use one of the below: set OSG_OPTIMIZER=OFF export OSG_OPTIMZER=OFF setenv OSG_OPTIMIZER OFF Then rerun osgconv, doing the round trip to double check. The Optimizer has a purpose though... its to optimizer what may well be a very poorly conditioned database, most source models are really bad from a run-time performance point of view so optimization is often key to getting good performance.
