Using the latest version of Rhino 7 on Windows. If I try to open an .obj file, Rhino opens an empty document. When I try to import the file, I get an “Error importing file ” message. Haven’t had this problem before. Any ideas?
Hello - obj is interpreted in various ways, not, I guess, always to spec. Please post the file or send to tech@mcneel.com, with a lin k back here in your comments and someone can try it and maybe see what is wrong.

Hi Pascal. Here is one of the files I’m attempting to open. I’ve since been able to open other .OBJs, so it seems like the problem must lie with this batch of files.
B64A46~1.OBJ (12.2 MB)
Hello- that file opens here in both V7 and the V8 WIP. Can you please run the SystemInfo command in Rhino and post the results?

Hello - As far as I can see it opens fine in 7.32 but may not be immedately visible -the object is tiny - it must be made in meters.

Hi Pascal,
I moved the files onto my desktop and have no problems opening them now. I think it might have something to do with how long the file name was, seeing as the the files were deeply nested in about 8 layers of subfolders.
@tim - does that seem possible? File names too long in OBJ import?
-Pascal
Or maybe Rhino couldn’t find the folder or something. It’s happened to me in Photoshop that I couldn’t save files to subfolders deep in the folder hierarchy unless I shortened the name. My layman’s assumption is that there was some sort of character limit that was surpassed.
