Rhino 6 Export Issue

[seaneichelberger]

Not really pleased with the Rhino 6 “improvements”. “Background Bitmap” command was streamlined and efficient. Why eliminate it just because you added a “Picture” command???

Anyway, my purpose in posting was to see if anyone knows of a way to stop Rhino from exporting cameras with every piece of geometry I export? Of course they are easily deleted upon opening the geometry in my render software, but why have to deal with this extra step?

Thanks

Regarding BackgroundBitmap, it is back since 6.2 - make sure you are up to date with service releases (don’t forget to expand the message linked for the whole text):

Rhino 6 woes: I HATE the picture command ... Please don't phase out background bitmap function

A couple interesting things to note: If you type BackgroundBitmap in Rhino 6, you’ll get a message saying The BackgroundBitmap command is obsolete and will be phased out in the future. Use the Picture command instead. And then… the BackgroundBitmap command continues to run! It’s not actually gone, it displays a message box that we added months and months ago. Our goal was to see if any of our Beta users noticed or cared. Apparently they didn’t. Now we’re getting the feedback we tried to get i…

Regarding export:

I tested FBX and DAE export. When you export make sure you check the Save Geometry Only checkbox.

Thanks for the info! Glad to hear BackgroundBitmap is back.

I’m exporting as 3ds. I tried exporting with “Save Geometry Only” checked, but still includes cameras. Happens every time. Any other ideas?

Hello - there is a fix for this in the current 6.3 service release candidate - you can get this by setting Options > Updates and statistics > ‘Update fruequecy’ to ‘Service release candidate’.
