I haven’t had any luck with exporting USD files from Rhino 8. I’ve tried the two latest releases with the same results. When exporting selected geometry, the App seems like it’s processing and writing out a file, but no such file exists after it displays a successful export message. I’ve tried se…

Hi Jeremy, I just did a quick test and successfully export selected to .usd & .usdz. Please run SystemInfo in your Rhino command line and post the results. I exported a mesh box. If you can post a file that is giving you issues i will give it a go as well. Thanks

Hi Japhy - Here is the Sisinfo: Rhino 8 SR7 2024-5-17 (Rhino 8, 8.7.24138.15431, Git hash:master @ 03702f889bdef32626af4bca510b5e8a85666d38) License type: Commercial, build 2024-05-17 License details: LAN Zoo Network Node Windows 10 (10.0.19045 SR0.0) or greater (Physical RAM: 64GB) .NET Framew…

My Test File USD_Test_File_Container.3dm (3.5 MB)

Thanks, I was able to export, even with the badObjects. (use SelBadObjects command) I am in a slightly newer version, but not seeing anything recent involving export (import is coming soon it looks like) Please disable 3rd party plugins and try again. Go to File>Properties>Plugins and sort by 3…

Okay - I’ll try disabling plug-ins. Thanks for the suggestion.

I did fresh install and disabled the Plug-ins not shipped with Rhino [image] I rebuilt the bad Object meshes and tried exporting again. Rhino Displays a successful export: [image] But there’s nothing in the listed directory.

I haven’t been able to repeat. Have you tried saving to a local location? (assuming R drive is a networked drive)

So I just tried this to get a workflow to 3ds max and back. First try I exported as is from Rhino and got a .usdz file in which 3ds max cannot read. I had to manually type .usd when exporting. that worked perfectly and 3ds max picked it up! I then learned you cant go back to Rhino as it cant impo…

I just tried Japhy’s suggestion to write to a local drive and it worked. So there is something preventing me from writing this one particular file type to a networked drive. And it would seem that it’s something on my machine as I seem to be the only one with this issue within my organization.

Good tip on manually filling in the file extension as my .usdz exports don’t seem to be carrying my materials/texture coordinates into Unreal Engine.
