Ok, so i got an Autodesk Maya 2008 demo yesterday, and when i try importing .obj's it says "Error: Error Reading File" but when i create something (a simple box) then export it, then Quit->Reopen then attempt to import the file i just exported its fine, but it seems only to be with halo exported models. WTF!?!

ok, it turns out that i needed to turn off "Export models with zero surface area", which worked, but now I'm having troubles importing the models back it after editing.

When working in PC it's important not to delete or add any verts and when saving from autodesk do not save normals.
