Importing OBJ

I'm having problems importing OBJ's using Rhino5 so I wanted to go back to Rhino4 for it.
Some objects are missing with Rhino5, with Rhino4 they are there. On the other hand I don't have any material information since it must be set to "import obj groups as nothing" and the y axis is turned.
But I never get the options dialog showed here:
http://wiki.mcneel.com/labs/objio
and the command OBJImportOptions does not work ...
any clues?
Thanks, kami

You also need to download and replace the original ones with the .obj-Importer from that Wiki Page to get the options shown...

But I would advise to use V5 anyway, its Importer and Exporter offer more control. In case Geometry goes missing McNeel
surely was very interested to look at your files. Just post to the Rhino-Newsgroup.

Thanks, you're right. I just posted it there.
And you were right about the obj importer as well. It worked fine then!
