Hi all,
For context, as part of my work I need to convert lots of 3D objects to SKP and get them render ready for V-Ray. I’ve recently had quite a few issues where I’ve tried to convert a range of formats (FBX and OBJ mostly) and through PCON or TransMutr, have them successfully saved as SKP files, but then I can’t easily edit them as I have issues selecting them.
I can’t click on them to select them, and though I CAN select them by using a big selection box, when I press enter to open the component, that model appears outside the boundary and partially missing. If I manage to open that nested component again, the same thing happens, with even more of the model missing. With the component selected I can’t right click either, so I can’t explode the component.
The only resolution I’ve found is using the “BOMB” extension, to get rid of every component and group, so everything is loose geometry, then importing that into a new file. This does work, but is very time consuming and is not viable for some of more complicated components. It also makes it much harder to apply materials and textures to the object. I of course, make sure to use the CleanUp³ often, to make sure the model is as smooth as simple as can be.
I’m attaching one example, and the simplest of all the models I’ve had to convert. Though it’s not an overly big file, it has 217 components, which sounds like a big red flag. I have many files to convert, so recreating them is not an option unfortunately.
Does anyone have any experience with dealing with this issue? Thanks!
