Audit3dmFile needs to have an option to display the same text output as in previous versions of Rhino.
I was chasing the source of some spurious materials in V9 files. The new version of Audit3dFile with the graphical output was useless for this since it does not appear to show anything about materials. So I started V8 and used Audit3dmFile in it. Checked a couple of files and quickly located the file which was the source.
Hi David -
Perhaps I’m not understanding the issue here?
To me, “Temporarily removed” means that it will be back.
[It’s the first time I see that the legacy version on this tab was removed so that looks like a very recent thing].
-wim
It’s been removed for a while. It needs to be restored, not left in the “Temporarily removed” state.
To make sure it doesn’t fall between cracks

Apart from that, running the dashed version of the command opens the legacy version.

Hi David-
It should. Can you please share a file where this is happening? All the models that I have that contain materials show up in the new Audit3dmFile, so I’d really like to know more about what you’re seeing. I’m sure there’s a bug here …
Example file. Wee Lassie Exterior.3dm (7.2 MB)
Below is what I see when I run the WIP Audit3dmFile. I can see that there is 1 material but nothing about the material such as it’s name which was what I needed.
In contrast the V8 Audit3dmFile returns a text list which includes much more information.
The new graphical version of Audit3dmFile shows how much space is of the file is occupied by various categories, so is great if that is the desired information. But for other purposes it does not replace the old text version.
It does not in Work In Progress (9.0.26084.12305, 2026-03-25)
Ah, I see. It’s not that the materials do not show, it’s the name you’re after. I did have that working before, but it regressed. Thanks for providing the sample file. I’ll get that logged and fixed.
Also the location and the other information that the previous text based version provides.
Thanks for the clarification. Now I see you’re talking about the Embedded Files table as well. Got it.
All information which is available in the V8 Audit3dmFile should be available in the V9 version. Much of it may be better provide as a text dump rather than graphical.
Hi David -
I have now tried this on three different machines without issues.
This was implemented and tested three months ago here → RH-89338 Audit3dmFile: Scriptable version should do what old commands do
Per that YT item, the dashed version of Audit3dmFile runs Audit3dmFileOld.
Does Audit3dmFileOld pop up the new version on your system?
-wim
Thanks fo4r the follow up.
-Audit3dmFile is now running the old version. No idea what was going on previously.
I’ve logged these two additional issues:
These are actually regressions (they used to work) but when I optimized the performance using a different parsing method, I broke these.
A minor paper cut that I noticed in yesterday’s WIP: The text in the “count” field is left-justified and should probably be right-justified
Also: do you intend to make the column headers clickable for sorting? ie: like Excel columns where the sort column and direction is selected by clicking.
