Importing Issues: Faceted or Triangulated
Hi all,
I am new to modeling and have a question.
When I import an .obj into 3DS Max, it will either be triangulated or faceted.
1. Faceting issue:
Applying a smoothing group doesn't get rid of the faceted look
2. Triangulation issue:
Must I remove many edges to get the model back to quads?
Thank you in advance and sorry if this has been addressed elsewhere on the forum

Generally speaking, you don't want to triangulate a model that wasn't.
Now, the model shouldn't be "faceted" when you apply a smoothing group.
What are your obj import options ?
Maybe all faces have been exploded at export ?
Select a face and move it to see if all faces are detached. You can perform a weld with a very low treshold on vertices to fix this.
