Member Don Posted February 14, 2018 Member Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 I'm new to 3D Coat and have novice skill in other 3D apps. I created a 2D image in Corel DRAW 2017 and exported it as an EPS (Postscript 3). In 3D Coat I imported the EPS with File > Import > Import Curve as Mesh. 3D Coat will round off the corners of what are squared corners in the original image and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Any help is appreciated. Please see images below. Thanks! Don ORIGINAL IMAGE IMPORT AS MESH IN 3D COAT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 Hi Import again with the option Import w/o Voxelization = ON Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Don Posted February 15, 2018 Author Member Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 Thanks Carlosan! I ticked "Import w/o Voxelization" as you have displayed; unfortunately, it didn't make any difference, the objects corners are still rounded. Do you have any other suggestions?

Carlosan Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 Sorry, using version 4.8.10 I cant open the eps file. This issue was reported to support@3dcoat.com Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Don Posted February 15, 2018 Author Member Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 Sorry...didn't realize there was a new update (maybe an automatic update notice is in the works, such as used with other apps?) I'm downloading the update now and will try creating the EPS in some variation that 3D Coat will recognize and then go from there. I do appreciate your help!

Member Don Posted February 16, 2018 Author Member Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 I installed 4.8.10 and tried importing the EPS saved with different variations (postscript 2, postscript 3, etc.) and no matter how I save it and no matter what options I select/deselect in 3D Coat, the object still imports with rounded corners. Is there another file format or process to try? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Carlosan Posted February 16, 2018 Solution Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Solved on version 4.9.41 using Curves > Load Curves. *eps file format must be exported as illustrator 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
