Problem Importing Mesh into Zbrush

JordonTurberfield

Hi guys,

Currently I'm working on a piece for my portfolio. I'm having trouble importing my mesh into Zbrush, for some reason the message "This mesh contains nonstandard polygons (more than 4 sides)" pops up, and I can't for the life of me figure out why it's doing this. 

This is my mesh:

Pretty bog standard modular wall.

This is the message that comes up:

Haven't got a clue why it's doing this, the mesh seems perfectly fine, everything as 4 sides.

Hoping someone can help me sort this out.

Struggling to find out where it is though. Problem is Max doesn't have an easy way of finding Ngons, should probably make the switch to Maya!

Select the model you want to work on in Max. Under the viewport controls (top left) choose the plus sign/xview and with your model in vertex view cycle through the check options for good form. The one you are looking for is T-verticies. This will show you where your Ngons are, and if you have select results checked you can see the problem verts highlighted in the display.

Thanks for the response Kanga. All has been sorted now!

Yup! I learned both and I strongly advise you to do the switch for you own sanity
Cheers!
