SOLVED: Part of UI missing when reopening a project

cyi

I've just started using ddo, so I apologize if the answer is really obvious. I'm using an obj that is made up of a few parts. When I first load it and set up materials, everything is great, and I can select the different groups within the obj. However, when I save and then reopen the project the section of the UI that allows me to select the different pieces has vanished. Does anyone know what's going on here?

I'm still unable to figure this out. I watched some videos, but I haven't seen this issue addressed. I'm sure its a very dumb question, but I'd really like to be able to start working with this software. Thanks for any input/ advice!

Hi cyl!

Haven´t seen this issue before to be honest, would you mind sending me your obj file so that I can do some tests? thanks!

Hi Eric,

Sure, I've sent you a PM.

Eric Ramberg

so I took a look at your file (very cool character btw) and I did not have any problems with saving the project and reopening it.. Which makes this even more strange. Are you using the "Save" function or "Save as" ? Is your project located on a network drive? Does your path to the project contain any non alpha-numerical characters?

Hey Eric,

Thanks very much for checking out the obj and for the kind words. What you said got me thinking, and I got it to work. I think my problem was that I was pulling an obj from my desktop, while the rest of my texture files were located elsewhere. I moved all of my textures and the obj into the same directory, and I can reopen the project correctly now. I'm going to do some more experimentation, but for now the issue seems to be resolved. Great news for me!
