Can't import a "OFF" (Object File Format) file

[cellocgw]

Hi,

the documentation says meshmixer will import OFF files, but I tried to import the sample file given in Wikipedia, and I get "error opening file:  cube.off"  with no further information provided.

(meshmixer 3.5.474  on MacOS Catalina) 

For reference, here's the exact contents of the file

OFF

# cube.off

MM doesn't support per face colors which are in this example file.

You need to remove these informations in the lower section to get a basic .OFF :

@MagWeb it appears MM doesn't allow comment lines either.  I had to delete those (as in your example).

Thanks for the explanation

Yep, also no COFF flavour (as Meshlab writes per vertex color to .OFF)
