So far I’ve tried every method and . filetype that both Rhino and Maya im/export.
So my question is this: Is there a definitive, solid, but most of all reliable way to import NURBS into Maya from Rhino?
IGES, obj, alias v8.x not working!

Just make shure you installed and loaded (Plug-In Manager: DirectConnect.mll) the Direct Connect Plugin!!!
Than Import: Step_DC
It works great to me that way.

We do it via IGES.
- Open File in Rhino
- Select all necessary objects
- Go to -> File -> Export selected (may it’s a little bit different called - we use a german version with Datei -> Auswahl exportieren
- Use IGES as Dateiformat
- In the next window (Iges-Export options) Select Maya as Iges-Type
- Click on Advanced Options (german “Genaue Einstellungen…”
- Click on “Edit Type” next to “Maya”
- Click on “edit” (make sure Maya is still selected)
- There you should have this settings:
----first tab----
Name: Maya
IGES-Version 5.2
Textdateitype: "CRLF (MS-DOS), Windows)
Skala1
----second tab----
Pointobjects: 116 (Getrennte Punkte)
Max. Grad: No Limite

Back in the Export options:
IGES-Toleranz 0.01
IGES-Einheiten What ever fits to you and the scene

–==================Fire up Maya
->Windows->Setting Preferences->Plugin Manager
-> Check Iges.mel
-> Go to File->Import (open doesn’t work)
-> Select your Iges-File and Import
-> If this is a huge file, go 4 a coffee
Sorry, late answer but I just saw the post today…

Yea, no man, better late than never. Thanks for the settings. I’ll go through and change em.
Turns out I just didn’t have the iges.dll loaded.
