unable to load file ? #14

Closed soundreactor closed 5 years ago

soundreactor commented 6 years ago

i have this obj and it won't load. why?

Hi @soundreactor, the file has several non-manifold edges and vertices. You can read more about what that means and how to handle it here: https://www.shapeways.com/tutorials/fixing-non-manifold-models. Unfortunately, BFF does not support such models yet.

thanks for your reply. its just weird it has to be closed when the whole idea is to unwrap it 😞

rohan-sawhney commented 6 years ago

The mesh doesn't have to be closed, it can have a boundary...

soundreactor commented 6 years ago

im sorry i have no clue what im doing. i removed the nonmanifold edges. https://mega.nz/#!Vr5BEILb!YeN60bmWaPPM6nnKQGQhv9LHAGYRvFtWUHWI1hduSbc

still won't load

I also have a simple non-manifold mesh (1/4 of a torus) exported from Rhino 6 as obj. BFF says "unable to open file" - does BFF need a specific version?

rohan-sawhney commented 5 years ago

@AnnieLocke Unfortunately, there isn't any support for non-manifold meshes - there are some ambiguities when it comes to running algorithms (like flattening) on them and its unclear how to resolve them.

@rohan-sawhney apologies, i meant to write non-non-manifold mesh, as in basic mesh.
