importing geometry into flame

[Anonymous]

Hello,
Ive been trying to import geometry from 3d max 5 to a flame with some difficulty. It seems to connect all the vertices after importing, making the geometry unuseable. Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks a bunch!!!

what version are you using?

on the majority of cases, you have to have contemporary versions (released at the same time, belonging to the same generation) in order to make tranfers work

have you tried it this way?

used to work well for me with max5 and inferno 4.7.4

im working with max 5 and flame 7_2_2.
We are trying to import a wire frame from max.
when flame imports the wire frame it connects all the vertices.
Do you know a way around this?
Thanks for your help!!

well i guess you turned on the wireframe button for the geometry…

i think single lines which are standing away from a geometry are always filled and closed due to the way how a polygon object is vreated. But to be honest I don´t know really anything about these technical details. Perhaps you could build your model with tiny cylinders instead of a wireframe.

Thanks guys,
Ill try that. i was also trying to import a spline. could that have been the problem?

Ya, I think your model has to be an editable mesh…not a spline.
