im tying to export to obj, with each surface defined in the obj as a component.

i get what i need when i export with `spheres and cylinders` - but i dont want them in my exported object.

anyone know how i can export the shape, with the faces defined ?

.. see example pics..

It exports a single object (lines starting with "o" in the OBJ file), but groups sets of faces together based no colour (lines starting with "g").

So anything you want separate should be a different colour.

I don't know why exporting the edges and vertices would make a difference.

If you're only intersected in convex models, you may also want to choose "Don't triangulate faces" when you export.

ok, i change to `colour per face` and oddly.. that seems to have resolved my issue. each `face` in now individually selectable in the mesh.

thank you.
