Before going the export to OBJ route, you can try one of the Create > Poly Mesh > Extart Polygons commands.

To get round a possible dodgy/corrupt mesh thing we normaly do an OBJ export then re-import and it nicely re-orders things. BUT obviously then any UV work tends to be a bit trashed by this, and Gator being what it is can only do so much to get back to where you were. Are there any tools in 2012 and 2013 that might help in this regard? Sorry if it is plainly obvious in the docs for these as I have also not had much time to check those out either. many thanks Sandy<http://triggerfish.co.za/en> <http://triggerfish.co.za/en> Sandy Sutherland | Technical Supervisor <http://triggerfish.co.za/en> <http://triggerfish.co.za/en> -- www.matinai.com<http://triggerfish.co.za/en> -- www.matinai.com<http://triggerfish.co.za/en>
