Hi Nick, would you be able to send the files to support@shapr3d.com , we will take a look at it. Thanks for your patience

Hi Daniel, any movement with this??? Its been 2 weeks now? Many thanks for your assistance.

Hi Nick - sorry about the wait. I’m aware we haven’t replied - please allow us a few more days.

Ok no worries, thanks for you help.
