Tim, this could be very handy for me since I use Keyshot all the time. However it should import the file into the currently open Keyshot window, not create a new file. At least that is how I work...

Tim,
if you could, could you also add STEP, as it is more reliable at transferring part names over to Keyshot. This makes it much easier when you start applying materials, than the numbers that OBJ transfers over.

STEP does a nice job, it keeps the color attributes per face and seems to get all the parts.

I'm using obj. I would prefer to have the choice between formats, sometimes one works better than the other. I'll try step next time to see how it works, but I remember that last time there was a problem and I reverted to obj.

Just had a quick test on a simple revolved object. It had errors when imported into Keyshot. In addition I believe Keyshot will take a very long time to convert complex geometry making STEP a real slowdown to an effective workflow. Maybe they improved something in V6 which is in beta right now.

Tim, Great progress for going to Keyshot, at least for those of us using this workflow. As others have said, being able to get Updated geometry into to Keyshot would be great without the involvement of reimporting and reapplying materials, remapping graphics (if possible) etc. This would be a huge time saver.
