Re: Geometry has no Polygon Index - fix?

Hi Stephen Thanks for checking it. I haven't mentioned that here I am using Softimage 2013 SP1. Great that this is fixed in 2014 and the extract polygons to a new mesh method also works fine in 2013. Having no indices was really odd. Thanks for looking into it. Jakob --
