Max -> Maya triangulation

ScoobyDoofus

For the last few years, I've been able to model in max, and send my stuff to Maya (via send to maya function) and keep my mesh in quads.
In 2016 it worked natively, with no workarounds. In 2015, I found that if I dropped an edit poly modifier on the stack (and didnt collapse it) before sending to maya, it send a quadded mesh.

Now, no matter what I do, in 2017, its triangulating my meshes again. Any help/suggestions?

I think it's using FBX to shuttle things back and forth. You might want to try exporting some random junk and check off triangulation which is on by default I think.

Do you have preserve edge orientation checked in the Max FBX export settings? That'll triangulate your mesh as well. If that doesn't work try selecting one of the older FBX exports.
