Quad Topologies

Hi there,
when I import a obj model made with a quad topology Transmutr triangulates the quads.
I don’t know how to write a single code line so maybe this is a folishness: do you think is possible to make compatible the geometry generated by Transmutr with Thomthom’s definition of a QuadFace?

Yes this is already on our todo list.
We have already investigated and it seems possible: https://forums.sketchup.com/t/c-api-geometryinput-and-edges-cast-shadow-flag/101469

Great, glad to read that. Thank you so much!

I’ve been using FluidImporter Light and there is clean quads and even n-gons import
Would purchase Transmutr if it will support n-gons

PS
Just compared both outputs
1,3Gb - Transmutr Demo
0,7Gb - FluidImporter Light (faster processing, clean output)

Your tool is great in render presets and instances/proxies, but geometry processing needs improvement

thanks

Yes, quads support is on our todo list, although we have not yet started working on it. We will look into n-gons support, but I don’t know if it’s technically possible in Transmutr.
