Everything works fine with obj file creation, it's just that the obj or stl or 3ds files cannot be imported in Maxwell Studio (The standalone app for Maxwell).
The files created from MoI from the other PC, can be imported to Maxwell at the PC with the problems so, this can't be a Maxwell problem. Also, Maxwell was installed before MoI and I can't remember having this problem with the previous beta.

I guess it will be difficult to find it...
OK, in a few words...

Installation of Moi has been done twice.
All options are the same
No problems with Moi Files.
One MoI installation cannot produce files that can be imported in Maxwell.

Hi JTB, hmmmm well that's definitely odd.

Can you please create an example OBJ file from each installation, maybe using the same .3dm file of a simple box?

If you can then zip those up and attach them here, I will take a look at them and see if there are any differences in the OBJ file that could account for one not working.

Also, are you trying to read the OBJ files in from the same folders? Maybe Maxwell is having difficulty reading from one particular folder or something...

Well, it seems that everything is correct now...
I am not sure why this happened but I can tell you that the only thing that I changed was the grid...
The PC with error obj file had the default grid and units set to meters. I changed it to grid size 0.1, snap 0.05 and accented every 10 lines.
I can't see the reason for this to cause an error, because what was 1m from PC1, was 10m from PC2 (error PC)
I should be able to import 10m boxes to Maxwell, right?
Well, anyway, I am very happy to see that it works so I don't really care what happened.

Thanks for the help

Hi JTB,

> I should be able to import 10m boxes to Maxwell, right?

Yup, you should... However, OBJ files do not have any type of unit system designator in the file, you just get coordinates directly put into the OBJ file. Like for instance if you have a point at an x,y,z of 10,20,30, it will get exported to OBJ as 10,20,30 regardless of if you have meters as units or millimeters.

Anyway, I'm glad that it seems to be working for you now! If you run into any more problems please let me know.

Thanks,

- Michael
