Hi There !
I try to generate an TMD Object with quadliteral Polys
and try to texture it with an TIM !

I use 3DstudioMAX for create an 3D Model
then I export the Mesh as an AutoCat File
(In this State the Model consists of triangulated Poly)

The Next Step is to convert the Autocat file into an Rsd
Object with DXF2RSD Tool (Windows edition) with the
Option "Quadliterals"

At the first view of the converted Object in RSDTool
everthing looks all right (quad. poly, and the TIMs have
an 4 point Mapping)
But by pasting an Tim onto an Poly, only the "half"
of the selected Poly wa wrapped with the Tim (half Quad poly ->
triangulated
Poly !!!), with other words: how can i realize an object with
quadliteral
Polys and correct displayed Textures ?

What went wrong ????? Is it a Problem of 3DStudioMAX
or an wrong setting in one of the conversion Tools ???
But: belive me i tried out really a lot!!!!!

I hope someone will speak to me (out of the dark....or from
anywhere....)

with regards
 Olaf
