Hi @cunicode

Iā€™m afraid Iā€™m unable to reproduce this on my computer. I suspect this is file-specific, so we may need to ask for the file that is causing problems.

Here are the steps Iā€™m taking to attempt to reproduce this:

  1. Launch the latest RhinoBETA (6.16.19155.12084) and open:
    Rook2.3dm (10.2 MB)
  2. Navigated to File > Exportā€¦ and selected Rhino 5 3dm as the version (accepted the defaults: Save Plug-in Data is only one checked). Exported the file as Rook2-v5.3dm to my Desktop.
  3. Repeated the above step, just with Rhino 4 3dm as the version.
  4. Quit the RhinoBETA.
  5. Launched Rhino 5 for Mac 5.5.3 and opened both files.

Both opened as expected.

Can you please help me see what you are seeing?

I have the same problem with some ā€˜olderā€™ files (4ā€¦5 months old) containing render materials and environment info (ā€œrenderedā€ with raytraced / Cycles).

Can you please supply us with one of these files @Philip? Iā€™d like to try that out.

I knew you would askā€¦ :smiley: I would have sent it right away, but Iā€™ve been too busy. Iā€™ll try tomorrow.

Now I canā€™t repeat it. Iā€™m confusedā€¦ Perhaps I made a mistake when exporting to V5. Sorry for the confusion.
@cunicode: do you have a file for Dan to test?

Hi, Iā€™m also unable to reproduce the issue again.
[*already updated to Version 6 WIP (6.16.19155.12084, 2019-06-04)]

The Rook2.3dm (10.2 MB) exports from v6 and re-opens in v5 correctly.

I think this must have been restricted to 6.16.19169.14484.

I cannot reproduce this in RhinoBETA 6.16.19169.14484. If someone can, please let me know how.
