Unable to read the selected AXM file

In a similar vein to other file corruption posts, I have a file which fails to read but curiously will show the materials on the side bar. Unfortunately, it won't show the groups or layers and cancels out with the error.

 

Would it be possible to test if it is recoverable? I can send a download link on request.

 

Here is the context:

- Working on a local copy AXM in a OneDrive synched directory.

- The last modelling was a sink basin with a self intersecting geometry. An "S" shape was section of the sink was swept along the plan of the sink (rectangular with rounded corners).

- This shape was then combined with an outer edge of the sink done in a similar way but without any self-intersecting surfaces.

- File saved and reopened 2 days later.

Hi Luc,

 

Usually, this is the result of a partial upload, i.e. the FormIt file is incomplete because the upload was interrupted. I'm not sure how this would happen with OneDrive, since (as I understand from your post) you're actually saving the file to a local directory, and the OneDrive sync app is then uploading it to the cloud from there. Even if the upload was interrupted, the local file should be intact. I use OneDrive for FormIt models too and haven't seen this happen, yet.

 

I'll message you directly for the download link, and probably ask a few additional questions so we can understand the context better.

 

Thanks, and sorry for the trouble.
