I’ve got another solution that isn’t as cheap as MOI but one that copes well with massive CAD assets. Modo and Power Translators in combination. Modo is now available as a rental ($599 per annum) but comes with a fully functional 30 day demo and you can get a demo license from Integrity-ware

yeah some of the files are really big and Moi seems to choke to death I think that's when we started trying out Rhino sketchup outputs we've used for architecture I've tried ended up with really broken meshes so far all of them give broken meshes (non manifold issues) for Maya's UV tools and

I’m personally not a fan of Simlab products as I’ve always found them them introduce glitches into exports (the SketchUp plugins are the exception but still have their own peculiarities). Not sure if anybody else has mentioned this but MOI is worth a try and it’s pretty cheap too ($295).

just tried the trail for simlab on an export it seems to have issues, looks like the connecting nurb meshes are cleaner, just some parts are fairly noisy, and still non manifold issues would probably be easier if I didn't have to actually set up UV's for this thing. the maya UV tools don't work on

I've found that MoI (http://moi3d.com/) works great if you can get it as an IGES file. Once you get it into MoI, it's meshing tools are top notch. Export to SI is easy from there. On 8/9/2012 11:12 AM, Cristobal Infante wrote: Hi Adam, Whats the best way of getting them into xsi? On 9
