A question about LithUnwrap

For those of you who use LithUnwrap, i was wondering about something. when opening a .peo or any other file and saving it as another file like .lwo, why does the surfaces that were made on the model before it was saved as .lwo disappear? like i built a model in PEO format and converted it to .Lwo format and all the surfaces i made disappeared. why does it do that? is there a way around that? or is that how the program works.

3D file conversion is not always a precise art. Some formats convert better to other formats. It is the way of things. Try to use 3D Explorer to convert. It is about the best at it. Even then, don't be surprised if it triangulates your model without asking and / or doesn't work completely as you expect.

SFAIK, 3DE *always* triangulates everything.
