sketchup into rhino > how to get rid of faceting?

[thomasj]

hello,

 

i imported a skp file into rhinoceros.

 

it has noticeable faceting when rendering. Is there any way to make the model smoother?

 

i tried tsplines but it wont accept this type of mesh. any help is appreciated

 

 

cheers

I poked around a bit and couldn't find anything. Looks like other people on the net have run into similar issues.

I don't know about rhino specifically. But whenever you pull a sketchup model into 3DS max, the vertices are all unwelded. You always have to do a weld vertices on every object with a .001 tolerance and then setup the normals again. Maybe the rhino import is doing something similiar
