Importing c2d files into a project

This is the first time I’ve tried to import one project into another and cannot seem to get it to work. I tried the steps that I found in a search - import - carbide create files c2d - select file - ok, but I only get a blank orange square. There aren’t any modeled objects and the Group 1 toolpath is blank.

Are we only able to import files that do not contain 3D models?

What version is the Carbide Create file?

Does it open normally?

Upload the file/post the link?

I just tried it with a new CC853 file. Model & 3D toolpaths don’t come in. only vectors & 2D paths.

Using CC854. The file opens normally.
Link to file below:

File opens as:

and as noted, when imported into a new file:

brings in the geometry:

but no model.

The technique shown at:

https://community.carbide3d.com/t/how-to-convert-a-v7-3d-file-to-v8/81108/5

should work to export the 3D model as a pixel image and then re-import it.

Anything further would need to be addressed by folks who actually work with the internals — e-mail in to support@carbide3d.com and we’ll see what can shared after looking into things.
