Importing OBJ files

highpocket74 — Wed, 25 Jan 2023 15:24:51 GMT

Why do I get an error message on most import tries of OBJ, PLY and STL scan files? Some import fine but many will not.

The message says the file could be damaged. I don't know what to do differently to fix this.

Can you share one of the problem files here?

This is only 1 of many that do not work. I've imported larger scan files with success but lately nothing works.

neither Meshmixer nor Cura can open this mesh, either

I would say that this OBJ is, indeed, corrupt

Does not open in Rhino3d either.

Figured it out!

Thanks gents.

I have a revopoint pop2 so I have to convert to mesh, then export as OBJ.
