Load Failure of older model

When I import nearly all versions of a model I have from version 7 to version 8… all I get is a blank viewport… no errors.

Can you send me an example, with textures? (to <!– e –><a href="mailto:support2@amabilis.com">support2@amabilis.com</a><!– e –>) Thanks.

Well, I refused to give up.

I managed to fix it.

[attachment=0:22aqn9jg]<!– ia0 –>tank1.jpg<!– ia0 –>[/attachment:22aqn9jg]

In the help menu, I selected &quot;reset 3dcrafter settings&quot;, so I assume that some settings were *in* the older model file that messed up the viewport somehow?

I will try this with other models that I migrate from older versions if the same situation crops up.

Glad to hear it. I just re-released 3DC 8 in hopes of correcting it, but there’s probably no point in downloading the new version. It’s exactly the same, just recompiled.
