* On your problem Paula, it -sounds- like the .obj format issue that has been around forever. DAZ is doing something that the 2015 obj importer doesn't support; 11.5 either does support it, or it simply strips it out of the equation, since it doesn't recognize it. The next most likely is DS is adding something to the format that it uses, 11.5 ignores, and 2015 is aware of just enough to dislike. Probably*

 The idea makes sense, but then why would some OBJs export and import properly and others not? The export settings are all the same. So far, G2F figures have imported properly into 2015. What hasn't are large scenes like canal city. I prefer to do all my work in Vue (rearranging parts of a scene, eliminating, etc.) other than with figures which have to be done in DAZ. I did send in a ticket on this to e-on.

Well, .obj is the old Wavefront file format that Lightwave initially made a default. But the standard is so old, that it was never properly defined and closed. Kind of like Blu-ray; that standard is still incomplete so people can bolt on just about anything....which is why BD is such a pita. If you don't permit your player to be online for uncontrolled flashes of the firmware, you are going to have problems. In .obj's case, the format was expanded over the years, so the initial format is basically correct, but there has been things added. You can look at a 1990's .obj and a 2014 .obj in a text editor and see differences in format. How well a program does accepting it falls to how well the parser is written. In .obj's case, a lot of them are written to ignore the lw specific tweaks inserted over the years, unless it was one to fix an issue. The basic format is highly portable; its when you deal with the Lw specific tweaks that things get messy. Each program has its own parser, and how they interpret things can get pretty ugly... And that looks like a neat utility, dreamcutter. I may have to give it a spin.....
