Import Rhino file using Dataprep Asset with Datasmith Import Options

Hi zefreestijl,

Thank you very much for your reply. And the link to Retessellation page is useful. :+1:

It is good tips to know when I want to make minor changes to imported meshes.

As refer to your Datasmith Details screen dump, please refer to my screen dump:

I have changed my data type to “Datasmith CAD…”, there is no options under “Geometry & Tessellation Options”.

I hope to find out if there are any ways that I can specify during or before Dataprep import to set the option to either “Import as NURBS” or “Import Rhino Meshes”. With the Dataprep, I find that I got imported NURBS sometime and Rhino Meshes other time? I do not know why?

From my experiments when testing rhino file imports using Datasmith only. I find:

  1. the “Import as NURBS” option some objects created weird untrimed meshes. I checked that those objects have no bad surfaces and those meshes are enclosed in Rhino.
  2. the “Import Rhino Meshes” option gives better meshes but cannot be tessellated as point out in the UE documentation.

I am still learning and trying to find a workable solution to streamline the Rhino file to UE process.

Have a good day. :slightly_smiling_face:
