Is possible from a polygon that was made of quads after been exported as a mesh and reimported become all triangules , to retrieve the original topology?

as far as i know. no. you would have to manualy remove the edges, or use an auto quad script, but those just do their best guess. its never goina be what you originaly modeled

In Maya there's Mesh > Quandrangulate, the result is pretty hit and miss depending on the mesh, but it's usually a good start to cleaning it up.

Sometimes it helps to manually delete a few triangle edges here and there, and clear up 'problem' areas first.

Anyway I did find quite usefull the new graphite tools I must admit I didn't use much but now they are just AWESOME ... I can remove unwanted edges easy and not ruin the uvmapping ^^ ...
