Hi,

They are all enabled.

Does it only work for files saved using the 5 beta?

Hi James,

re:

Yes saving the embedded thumbnail image is new in version 5.

3DM Files saved with version 4 won't have that.

What version of macOS are you using?

Do you have other programs installed that also handle .3dm files?

Hi,

I'm on Tahoe 26.6.2.

Installed are:
MOI v4
MOI v5 beta
Trice (viewer only)

I have have just deleted it. Nothing has changed so I will also re-install MOI and see what happens. Will report back



edit: Made no difference.

By the way, this is the command I needed to run the app:
"sudo xattr -cr /Applications/MoI\ v5\ beta\ Apr-27-2026.app"

Hi Michael.

I can confirm this feature doesn't work for me either. [I wished it did!]

I'm on Sequoia 15.7.7
Mac mini M4 etc.

Tried using Trice but thought it was a waste of time as MacOS displays STL files in Quicklook fine without it.

Trice wouldn't work with 3DM files. Maybe it would work with Rhino, but I don't use Rhino.

OT: cmd-S working great though!
