What is this?

[bighop]

I build a model for a book. I then did a save as, so I could use the base model for other books. I got this message:

Don't worry about it. Just OK it. AM automatically repairs models that has duplicate cps listed.....the cause of which is unknown at the moment.

The problem is I click "OK" and the program quits.

Oh. That's not normal. If the model is separate to the project, try it in a new project. If it still does it, you should post it on AM Reports.

I made the model with in a project. Does that matter? I ended up deleting the model and staring over in a new project.

 

I'm at work now. So I have to wait to see if it work when I get home.

 

Thanks for the info

Hi!

First: MAKE A BACKUP-Copy of the *.prj-file... this is important if you do something you didnt intend to do!

 

You can try to open the *.prj-file with notepad or another texteditor (a more advanced one will help).

You will easily see the filestructure and you can go to the model and see if something looks different. If you see something(for example a string which isnt complete or a CP/Splines with less entries than the others etc. with, you will be able to delete the rest of the model or the specific spline.

 

Now you can try to open it again. The Spline you deleted wont appear, but it is possible that you made it readable again through that.

 

Test it out... it doesnt have to work, but it can.

I trashed the models and started again. I think I should have just made a blank book model. Opened that and saved it as a different book. When I did three "Save As" I think it messed things up.

 

Thanks for all the help!
