Meshmixer file corrupt or dependencies missing

b3tty — Tue, 05 Jul 2022 07:36:47 GMT

Hi there,

I could really use some help, I have been working on this file for a little while on and off, mostly because of the load shedding/blackouts, I wanted to do some more editing, and I got this error...I did save the file a good while before the power went off, but I did not manage to turn my PC off before it did, and when I try open the file now I get this error. I really don't want to loose all the work I have done on it, does Meshmixer create backups? Is there anyway of recovering what is in the file? maybe open it with another program? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I took a look. Its corrupt for me too.

You might be able to find an autsaved backup in: '...\Documents\meshmixer\autosave'

Thank you for trying to help, I really appreciate it. I did check in the '...\Documents\meshmixer\autosave' - but to no avail. I have since restarted, and have been manually backing up constantly, something I should have been doing from the start - arguably.
