[problem solved!]help needed: 3doBuilder imports
Posted: 12 Oct 2005, 16:58
I'm having a serious problem with 3doBuilder. Briefly: I cannot get 3doBuilder to import models correctly. 3doBuilder freezes when I try to import .lwo files (which are what I used to use for importing a long time ago). I've tried using .dxf files because I have a little more luck with those. However, I get two very specific errors whenever I import with .dxf file format, the second being critical:
1.)On one face (apparently at random each time I export from Rhino3D) one of the vertices is pulled out to the XYZ coordinate (0,0,100). This I can fix, and do.
2.) Another face (also apparently at random) completely disappears, and another polygon gains four more vertices, which along with one of its 'normal' vertices, get pulled to the XY coordinates of (0,0). I took this picture to demonstrate what I'm talking about here.
