Upgrading to El Capitan seems to have broken Electric Image Fact import.
Nothing crashes and no long waits with a spinning beach ball but nothing comes in.
I understand that the format is not so important now but I have hundreds of Fact files some very old that I would like to repair and perhaps use the PowerPack tools to convert back into solids for further work.

Looks the the FACT file contains MultiPolys and MiscBlock entity types which we do not support.

When it hit the MiscBlock type, it aborted the previous QuadPoly type mesh. I updated the read so that it now keep the QuadPoly type.
