Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted January 31, 2013 Hash Fellow Share Posted January 31, 2013 If you want to use it for the snap to surface tool, have you tried importing it as a prop? Otherwise, for now... if it works in v16, import it there, save the MDL and reload that in v17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve392 Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 Thank,s Robert,yea it was a prop I triede in v17 that was a no go so I triede a model but it just imported 1 spline very strange.I can import it into v16 so will do as you sugest and import that into v17 to use the snap to survice tool . by the by in v17 its taking a looong time to go from wireframe to shaded mode and takes a long time to bring up the action window. the screen goes white for a few seconds then it loads. thank,s for your reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pixelplucker Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I have several programs I can text your obj file with to make sure it isn't corrupt. There is a chance the obj may have too many polygons and AM could be just taking a long time to import it. I have had that with stl files that have mill+ polys. Just very slow going and not recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bigboote Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 OR- give us a link to the obj you are attempting, and we can try it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
