Importing OBJ files

Anonymous — Mon, 09 Mar 2020 23:32:33 GMT

I am having trouble importing .obj file formats into an new Maya scene. I can import it but does not show up. Please help...I tried to open and import and drag and drop it onto the icon. Is the file I am trying to import to large in file size?

Thanks

Hi!

Are you able to upload that OBJ file so we can try?

I can not send the file to you it is too big to send via email but here are screen shots of the file. Is the file size to large? Is there another way to ship you the file I am trying to import…?

Hello André,

I sent you screen captures of the file, I tried to email you the file but it was to large via email...I attached the file to this reply it is a zip file format...

Thanks

Hi!

The file imports fine here,

but the object is offset from the scene origin, so you need to move your camera.

Just hit "A" on the keyboard after the import.

I was able to import the file as well, though it took some time and Maya got really heavy.

I don't know your machine specs, but the file is quite big so you should probably try to work on a lighter version!
