In that case you must have had a .3dm file that contained NURBS objects inside of it.

3DM files that contain those types of objects will be read in fine.

Hi Michael,

I've come across similar situations with some Rhino files (3DM files) before.
Just out of habit I always tend to open most of them with MoI first.
These particular Rhino files only had STL mesh data within them & of course this can't be read by MoI.
Had me scratching my head at first wondering "why can't I see anything"??
That was until I opened the same files with Rhino & then I realised the answer!!

Not a big deal if you have both Rhino & MoI, but I can see how easy it is to get caught out if you're not familiar with the "whys & wherefores" of 3DM files.

regards Colin

Great, thanks everyone. I'll have to dig into these in Rhino or Deep Exploration and found out what the issue is.

Hi Colin, I guess I should pop up a warning message if no readable objects were found, that would probably help clear this up.

I've made a note on my todo list to add this in for v2.
