Bug: Exporting Worksession Model to .obj failing

When I try to export a mesh assembly put together in a worksession the attached meshes are not exported when exporting the model to .obj format.

Is that a known issue?

Yes, I have some problem too. I was going to report it as a missing feature.
Iā€™m coping manually all the objects to a new project to export them together.
Steps to trigger the bug:

Steps
Make object A
In Layer > Attach Mode
Select a second objectB.3DM file
Select object A and B
Export as OBJ or FBX

expected: both objects A and B are exported
actual: only the active object A is exported

Are this steps correct or you are talking about other bug?

From your description it seems like we are thinking about the same thing. However, this was a year ago and I can no longer remeber exactly which case I was working on. :slight_smile:

Hello @pascal when you have some time, can you make a test about this steps. Thank you for your time.

sounds like you were working in a different view/window on different objects and did not bother copying one 3D model from one viewport into another viewport; they have to be in the same viewport with my ViaCAD Pro program I use so Iā€™m guessing itā€™s the same way with Rhinoā€¦ if not, then itā€™s just another junky thing Iā€™m hearing about Rhino while looking into buying it (Iā€™ve only used trial versions b4)

Rhino isnā€™t a ā€˜junky thingā€™, itā€™s an incredibly useful thing, used in many different ways, for a number of different users & usecases. Canā€™t perfect them all with the first shot. Theyā€™ll fix it when they have the time.

Buy it if it suits your workflow.

Hello @mercury1978kevin ,
Iā€™m working on different files at the same time in one Rhino session.
I use worksessions for this. Since only one file is open or in session for modifications, it does not let me export all together. Is not a problem of view/window. I need to open a second Rhino and pass all the by using copy and past. But I wish to do the export inside the worksession itself.

Sometimes nomenclature change from one soft to other.
Rhino is a very good tool to purchase if you make 3D. Overall is a very competitive 3D editor. I was able to make real Ferrari cars and Swan sailboats on it. Perfect for hard surface modeling. Iā€™m also a Alias, Blender and Maya user but prefer Rhino.

Usually developers are focus making features and we users are more close at the edge of the software capabilities. On this I report report each bug I encounter to improve the product. Before reporting the bug, I use the forum for bug report prototype. Users are very helpful.

OK, what do you think of FormZ Pro version 9 for a hobbyist like myself? Compares to Rhino, to be error free, and cost a bit less with animation and rendering built in. So far, I find FormZ Pro to be easier to use and learn. Only complaint is that the cartoonish icons in FormZ Pro and overall look/feel to the UI is childish. But it works well that way, even so. So, both a con and a pro. But, what do you think about FormZ Pro v9 compared to Rhino?

If FormZ is ā€œerror freeā€ then it is the first perfect software ever created.
