I'm a bit befuddled. When I try to open a .vwx 2017 file shared via Dropbox, VW struggles to open it, gets stuck in the "Geometry" progress bar, and then crashes spectacularly. The screen fills with a grid of repeating complex pixel patterns which change spontaneously and also when certain keys are pressed. I would take a screenshot, but the worst part is that the machine is locked up on this screen. I have to Force Shutdown. It is an older (early 2011) MacBookPro and I am away from my trusty MacPro. The file is largish but not extreme at 315 MB and I am unsure of its contents, presumably a partial model of a house fleshed-out with various bits of plants, fixtures, and furniture.
I have repeatedly restarted my machine. I have downloaded fresh copies of the file. I have installed a fresh copy of VW. Plenty of other files are fine.

Any ideas or experiences?
