I tested Vue 4 & it came in OK....Went back into V5 & the emsh came in as above. I had to go into object edit & weld vertices & all went back to "normal". I wish I could figure out what the !@#$ is going on. Things like this annoy me...when it works for everyone else but me. I checked my pref's in 5 compared to 4 & all was the same....so go figure. Also the problem disappeared when I went into Open GL mode....I have that turned off normally as it's slow, but hey it works :)
