Hi Kouraib just to let you know the script is working again! As long as I open the script manager and execute the command from there everything is fine… (however, if you use the ‘user scripts’ menu it won’t work from there).

Thanks once again for all your help. Much appreciated.

Ok thanks buddy.

The strange thing is after repeated attempts I have actually managed to export a .stl to my desktop… nine times out of ten either nothing is saved or C4D crashes, but very occasionally it works. I’m not knowledgeable enough to mess with programming, I don’t understand whether you mean running the C4D app or just the script in the method in the…

Thanks buddy but I’m 66 years old… I’m going to need detailed instructions. 😂

Thanks for your help mate… but I can’t see the link explaining what to do.

Export as STL = 8

Export as 3DS = 9

Hi Kouraib… unfortunately, when you try to export as .obj the script exports a .dxf file.

When you try .fbx nothing happens at all.

Thanks buddy, where am I likely to find one… sorry (I know nothing about scripts).

Thanks for your reply but I’m inclined not to give up so easily on this when the application works in every other aspect apart from exporting a file. I have both R19 and R20 installed on another internal HD when I launch those applications the same problem occurs, so I don’t believe all three copies have been corrupted. It would appear something…

Hi! I’m new here… hope someone can help as I’m stumped! I’ve had C4D R20 running fine for years but ever since updating to Ventura I can no longer export files successfully.
