Trying to import an .obj file crashes V6I - everytime. I'm running it under Vista (64-bit). Have tried running Vue as an admin and it didn't help. I can import Poser 7 .pz3 files. Just not .obj's. I'm tyring to import them to save them as .vob files. Any ideas? Nelia

Some more information I forgot. I get the "Importing obj object" bar along the bottom of Vue and it seems to finish. When it does, I get the error "Vue has stopped responding." Nelia

And the issue is with all obj files? Or do you try the same again and again.

You don't say which release of V6I your running so my first suggestion would be to make sure your running the most recent release as there were problems with some obj in earlier releases.

I had a problem with obj files from a specific early release of a modeling package importing in to Vue.  After reporting it to tech support at e-on and supplying a couple of models they were able to find what it was in the files that didn't conform to the obj file format and was causing the crash.  Then they changed the importer to prevent it happeing.  You may need to do the same if you still have the problem.

Thanks for the replies!

I just checked and I'm running the most recent release - v6.1 Build 91050.  Have had the same problem through all the releases.  

I had tried various .obj files - about 15 different ones from different sources. 

Then, after posting this I downloaded a couple of new .obj.  Yeah, hope springs eternal. (grin)  They worked!  So, this morning I tried some other file formats: .3ds, .lwo.  They worked.  

I thought about it and here's what I think is happening.  It's not Vue.  The .obj files I'm having trouble with are older ones.  It may be that older versions of the modeler's software didn't save properly.   The files were mostly freebies and .obj's from one modeller.  

I'll be trying out some files that imported OK in Vue 5 and will see what happens. If they don't work, I'll contact tech support.

Have Vist 64 bit, and have had the same trouble with some obj files, got a free modeller and saved them and then imported into Vue.  Also think the modeller saved them in a non-compatible format, may have also been 24 bit instead of 32.

If they are importing into Vue 5, resave them and then try to import them into 6 and see if the problems still exists.

OK, went off to check this and got sidetracked.  Started to copy a few things from my neglected desktop onto a flash drive, then decided to burn them to DVD.  Realized that there was still quite a bit of stuff there that I hadn't transferred to the new laptop.  Then I realized that I'd replaced Roxio with Nero and needed to figure out how to burn with it. (grin)

Sheesh!  It seems with computer problems, one thing always leads to another, which leads to another, which leads to another.

Back to .obj importing.  I've tried a bunch of other files now.  I'm only seeing the import problem on about 20 of them.  These could well have been problems in Vue5, since I hadn't already imported them.  So, it looks like importing is working properly.

And, in the process of checking things out, I figured out the solution to my other problem - wrong default folders.

Thanks again, all, for the help.
