export

I'm exporting from Maya 2009 to OBJ. The mesh I'm exporting has in it's Render Stats "Double Sided" checked, but when the polygon is exported, only a single side is actually exported.

What really needs to happen is for each polygon that is double sided, two polygons need to be exported, facing in opposite directions..

I can do this manually, but is there a way to make the OBJ exporter do it for me?
