In the last couple days Studio has been crashing while trying to open mxs files exported from SketchUp. It happens everytime during "importing objects" and I get the following message in console:



The same model was working fine until the other day. I did upgrade to 1.7.1 from 1.7 - but I am not sure if it coincides...

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

EDIT: I am using SU6 on Mac OSX.5 and the latest Maxwell and plugin.

Could you have reached the limit where you get a mamory crash?
How much RAM do you have?

Thanks for the reply.

I have 3GB of ram and a 2.16GHz Intel core 2 duo processor. I don't think that is the problem as the same model worked the other day... but to be honest I don't know how to check that for sure.

I randomly have this problem when importing objects that have been exported from maya...haven't really found the culprit. Although i do have a workaround that may work in your situation

1. Open a blank scene

2.close down all of the camera viewports in maxwell. all you want to see are all of your tools panels.

3.import object into maxwell

4. in the "Objects" panel, select all of your items and hide them.

5. Once EVERYTHING is hidden, go into window->layout and select whatever layout you want to use.

6. set all of your viewports to wireframe viewmode

7. Unhide objects

8. now you should be able to set things back to whatever mode you want and work away.


That always works for my issue. sometime's it happens when importing, sometimes it happens for no reason when trying to open a scene that's been working fine for days. it's really odd.

anyways, hopefully that will work for you.
