Export MVR - Export as 3DS does not export geometry

[ReMatsu]

Hey guys,

 

I tried to export a simple cube (1mx1mx1m extrusion) to L8 as MVR, checked the "Use 3ds format" checkbox (L8 requires this), and imported into L8, the object was there but without geometry. I tried the same exact thing on 2023 and it worked. Can you check this out please? This is a very important step in my workflow.

 

Thanks,

@ReMatsu
Can you DM me the VWX file and the MVR created in 2024?
Also are you on a windows or apple computer?

When I was trying to recreate the problem, I discovered that if I keep the units in millimeters the export works, when I change to meters it does not. I think it is a scaling problem, the object is there but it's tiny. Here are the files.

 

I'm having trouble uploading the MVR file, so I compacted it. It's in RAR.

MVR_Export_Test_Win10_VW24_SP2.vwx MVR_Export_Test_Win10_VW24_SP2.rar

Its odd that the export works when set to mm but not m, the export process converts all dimensions to mm.

I'll get a bug report opened and bring it to the dev teams attention

Oh, I see, so I think that's the problem, instead o converting 1m to 1000mm it is just accepting 1m as 1mm, that's why the object geometry is "invisible". Thanks for the bug report!

Hi, 

 

Im still having this issue. Has this been fixed and im missing something?

We are currently testing the fix for the document units not converting correctly. It should be in the next update as long as no issues are found with the fix
