Create V6 files do not load into V8

You will need to open v6 files in v7 (available at: Downloads ) and re-save them as v7 files in order to open in v8.

Files from prior versions will not load 3D components in V8. There were too many changes to the internal format for the new capabilities of 3D, and there was no good way to map existing 3D components into V8.

For a work-around, see:

How to convert a v7 3D file to v8

As noted at: https://carbide3d.com/blog/create-v8/ from “Breaking Changes” Files from prior versions will not load 3D components in V8. There were too many changes to the internal format for the new capabilities of 3D, and there was no good way to map existing 3D components into V8. so v7 files will need to be converted so as to use them in v8. Fortunately, Carbide Create has a feature for exporting the 3D model as a height/depth map pixel image: [image] so do that to get: [rams] Th…
