Hi. After updating to Version 5.09 - Build 280618. I now find that when I import a 3ds file diectly into a scene or just importing to work on it that vue I changes the file format in to a vob. This is just no good, as you may understand in the vob format we still have the display textures to modify the sufaces but alas even that has changed, Now after you make one texture change the original material goes and where for example the display text displayed say 10 textures Im left with 9 and so on. Has anyone else had this experience. Very frustrated. Pete having just posted this thread I have tried out other 3ds files and the issue I mentioned does not happen with all 3ds file only some.
