"I found 2 more items that wont load as OBJ into Octane.
The Genesis car from DAZ 3D and the HeliJetPack located in propsVehicles from the PP2012 content package."

Curious - do they also contain  'garbaged' vn 0 0 0 lines? Is SM using 64 bit Octane or 32 bit? Between 32/64, OSX/Windows, German/English, program versions/revisions... it's hard to know what might be going on. I would think maybe some king of character encoding issue between the language versions. I know that OSX uses a different EOL sequence but getting into Unicode etc. is above my pay grade :-) The multiple vn entries on one line see to be the obvious suspect, but even that may be misleading - though it needs to be fixed.
