Export model as OBJ(Quads) exports as triangles

Hello all,

 

I am trying to use ReMake to convert a number of .stl files to OBJ (Quads) files so that I can edit them in Fusion360. I open ReMake, load my .stl model, navigate to export model, and choose OBJ(Quads). When I click export, the browsing window that opens shows that the file to be saved is indeed OBJ(Quads).obj and is headed to the correct directory. After the program is done exporting, I open the resulting .obj file in fusion, and the model is made up of triangles, not quads. For the life of me, I cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong. 

I've tried both the quick export at varying qualities, and the advanced tab, and with three different models now. They all result in .obj files made up of triangles, NOT quads. 

Has anyone experienced this, or has any idea how I can resolve this issue?

This worked! Thank you very much.

 

To avoid others having to redirect to that page, the solution is to navigate to Preferences>General - Mesh>Triangulate Mesh Polygons (Uncheck the Box)

 

Thanks again
