Full Version: Geometry straight up disappearing after import and save.

From: FDP
29 May 2018   [#1]
If I import the geometry from the file "Iron Core_TM_18_CoilUnit_Flex_CAD_160603.stp" from the following zip: https://www.tecnotion.com/downloads/iron-core-motors-cad-files-tm-series.zip

The geometry initially imports as a joined surface. If I change the object name and save the file it then randomly loses most of the geometry (leaving two small patches from the sides) and changes to a solid. Any ideas?

Thanks,
FDP

Hi FDP, I can't seem to repeat that problem over here. I tried opening Iron Core_TM_18_CoilUnit_Flex_CAD_160603.stp, renaming the object, then saving to a file test.3dm and then open test.3dm and it seems to be ok.

Are you saving to a different format than 3dm ?

Saving as 3DM. I will try to reproduce the issue, unfortunately I can't share the file where it is happening.
