Geometry mesh not visible after importing

Hi

Lately I am facing a problem while importing a scene with a rigged model, such as the popular Malcolm rig. This happens when someone else sends me a .ma file with the model. Whenever I open the .ma file, the NURB controllers show up, however the geometry mesh doesn't. Polygons visibility is checked in the Show panel. The model was not hidden. I have tried to go through the Outliner (even though the friend who created the file had not hidden any mesh) but everything is visible. The layers visibility is also turned ON.

This is a screenshot of an animation file with Ray character. See how the mesh is not visible but the controllers are.

Has anyone of you faced  this issue? Can you please provide any fix for this?

Regards

Hmm, you've checked all the things I would expect to be the culprit, maybe something is wrong with the shaders? You could always try deleting your prefs since it sounds like it's an issue with your machine not the maya file.
