Support importing Rhino meshes as Ngons
Intuos5 opened this issue · comments
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In Blender, as in most mesh-editing software, heavily triangulated meshes are difficult to work with and to remodel. In some scenarios it is easier to work with Ngons. Currently, Ngon meshes are brought in by the addon as triangulated meshes.
Describe the solution you'd like
I would prefer the importer to ask whether I want the imported mesh should be triangulated or not.
If the meshes themselves are not triangulated, I would assume they would be imported in the same way.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Although Rhino is able to export Ngon meshes as OBJ this creates an additional file on disk and does not benefit from the features of this addon.

Hey, recently saw this on discourse
Been working on a slightly different version of the addon (more focused on archviz) and used this (python documention)
Maybe I can submit a PR with this little improvement and expose it in an import option? @jesterKing
