[QUOTE="Spike44, post: 304898, member: 21166"] Okay, I was able to figure out the workaround. The way to do it is export the original model as an STL but instead of trying to import that STL file as a wax-up layer, it should be put into the library-->attachments folder, and then you add the "part" into your waxup as an attachment. The attachments somehow preserve sharp edges where as regular STL imports do not. Just in case anyone else ran across this problem. Also, I found that changing the view layer properties to "flat shading only" seems to remove the rounded over edges visually, but I'm not sure how this handles going forward through an export (I never tried this method).
