That is sure. Please see below.

Well, it must be a problem with the way Wings writes smoothng groups then, because every time I tried importing an object with GR2 Editor, the program threw an error message even before actually starting the import.

An example? Try importing this object using last GR2E version:

I am importing it in the stuka stock GR2 (loose import, every option checked but 'AO map').

I get this message:

***** the number of vertices defined in (path)\llighthouse for TDW.obj(558) does not match the number of vertices in the mesh (2378) *****
If I set all the edges to smooth before exporting (in wings3d), or if I remove manually all the smoothing groups from the file, the export works flawlessy (except for the usual UV corruption).

In both cases File-->Verify doesn't show any error.

On a side note: TDW, can you make error message into selectable text fields, for us to quickly copy/paste them on the forum?
