3ds Max 2017 not importing CATproducts

Anonymous — Thu, 08 Aug 2019 15:33:13 GMT

Max (3ds Max 2017 SP3) is refusing to import CATproducts.

File > Import > Select CATproduct > Open

Then the import settings dialog (that I usually see when I import cgr's) pops up.

Then... nothing. It just blinks out immediately and my scene is empty.

It's been a while since I have imported CATproducts but I don't recall seeing the cgr import settings dialog. Usually it's a bigger dialog box where you can see the progress.

But that dialog doesn't appear. Just... nothing.

What am I doing wrong?

Hello @Anonymous ,

Possibly they were created with a newer version of whatever makes CATProducts files released after 2017. If they made any changes to how the format works under the hood, it might cause a problem like you describe.

Have you tried other settings in the Hierarchy Mode? What if you convert to mesh? Anything?

Best Regards,
