Hi Sean Johnson, you recently wrote in moray.win:

Ususally you can't turn an UDO into a mesh, because an UDO does not
have face data. I did update the UDO format recently to support faces,
but I'm not sure that Rhino updated their exporter...

Basically, if you can see a solid representation in Moray, then you
can convert it to mesh, otherwise, you can't.
