Hello,

I am new to blender, and perhaps I am doing it wrong. I am trying to import a wavefont object, but once I navigate to the file and select it. I hit Enter, and nothing seems to happen. The object does not appear.  :huh: I also tried to import a 3DS file, the same thing happened. :blink:

I know blender has a huge learning curve, and so far I don't think I'm doing so bad. I'd just don't understand the python script errors...... Can somebody help me please? 

Here is a screen shot of the DOS window.:

By default, the .OBJ import script writes "Blender/*obj." into the feild that should contain the name of the file. Instead of right-clicking on the file and pressing enter, left-click on the file( this will enter its path at the top) then click the Import button.

Edit: Sorry about the poor picture resolution, I am not very good at using the default file attatchment feature :/

Thank you, it worked like a charm. This thing was giving me to many options.:

 

I was always clicking on create scene. Again thank you. :thumbupboth:

PS. It seems like whenever I crop something out of a screen shot, I get better resolution and words are more readable.

Thanks 3dz. I'll try that next time :) I wanted to mention somthing about the size constraint thing. It's new in this version. I've used it quite a bit, and I've noticed that if I don't set it to zero every time I import, that it shrinks my object down very tiny. That's about all I know, wish I knew how to turn it off permanently.

Open up the obj_import.py, in the scripts folder, in a text editor.

Look for this line at the bottom of the script, under load_obj_ui.

IMPORT_CONSTRAIN_BOUNDS= Draw.Create(10.0)

Just change the (10.0) to whatever value you prefer as default, then save the .py file.

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking.  He apologizes for this.  He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.

Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below.  His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.

Thanks, good to know. :biggrin:

oldskool.... Let me know how that worked for you? I am curious if that worked or not.
