Thanks packle.....  No. Smoothing has nothing to do with it.....   it  just loads in like that...   The problem seemed to be my using  Rhino evaluation V.4 and my saving the work in a v.2 format only. Just a few objects in the model were effected....  No problems were observed In Meshing the work in 3DS format....    just obj. file format gave this result....

Rhino has lots of controls and remedies...  If one way doesn't seem to work there is always another way to skin that Rhino....  (an old Rhino users saying...)
