LFG file testing



Notepad++

Copy all of the lines starting with XYZ to a new document

Search > Replace... (Ctrl+H)
	- in the options, set it to Regular Expression

Replace all "  XYZ.{1}[0-9]{1,4}.{1}" with "v  "
	- don't include the quotation marks

Try saving this new file as test.obj and import it into Blender
	- if the test is successful, you should see all the vertices of the model



Copy all of the lines starting with UV to a new document

Replace all "  UV.{1}[0-9]{1,4}.{1}" with "vt  "

Copy all of the vt lines into your test.obj file, after the v section



Copy all of the lines starting with NRM to a new document

Replace all "  NRM.{1}[0-9]{1,4}.{1}" with "vn  "

Copy all of the vn lines into your test.obj file, after the vt section





For face indices:

Copy all of the lines starting with INDICES to a new document

Remove all FT3 and FT4 lines:
	- Replace all "  FT.{1}:.{1}[0-9]{1,4}.{1}[0-9]{1,4}.{1}[0-9]{1,4}" with ""

Remove all INDICES wording before the numbers:
	- Replace all "  [A-Z]{1,3}-INDICES:.{1}" with ""

Copy all of the numbers into the Pablo_indices OpenOffice Calc spreadsheet
	- paste into the first cell where the numbers begin (cell A2)
	- when you paste into the spreadsheet, in the import options use "Separated by" and check "Tab"
	- it should show a preview at the bottom with each individual number in a separate column (if so, click OK)
	- all of the other columns to the right in the spreadsheet will update automatically
	- if pasting numbers with tabs included didn't work:
		- you can also replace tabs with spaces in Notepad++ by replacing all "\t" with " "
		- then when you paste that into the spreadsheet, use "Separate by" and check "Space"

Copy everything in the far right column (all cells that look like: f  1/1/1 2/2/2 3/3/3 4/4/4) into a new Notepad++ document

In Notepad++, use Edit > Line Operations > Remove Empty Lines to delete all of the blank lines

Copy all of the f lines into your test.obj file, after the vn section



Save the test.obj and import it into Blender
	- you should now have a complete model with all faces
