That's my script. It was designed for polygon meshes only.

I don't know if this one does NURBS but it's worth a shot: http://area.autodesk.com/downloads/scripts/ml_unify_normals (I've attached the addon to this email for those who don't care to register on The Area.)

Maybe it can help to solve the flipped normal issues after you imported the iges into Soft.

They look jacked in Maya as well when I turn the two-sided lighting off. It still renders clean though. If Soft would render clean I'd be in business.

This kind of data often has pretty random normals, and I don't believe Maya shows you bad normals in black like Softimage, so there'd be no way for you to tell unless you turn on the normal vector display.

Client gave me an igs file which I can get imported into Softimage and Maya. The problem is, that in Softimage half of the normals are flipped but it looks great in Maya. The object has hundreds of small parts so it's not effective to go find every last inverted shape manually. Is there a good way to get the NURBS into Softimage or keep the normals from getting screwed up on import?
