Bob, I am trying to read an OBJ file created by 3dt into the Jmol application. However I cannot get it to work. I get the following error message
$ load OBJ::FAU.obj script ERROR: unrecognized file format type OBJ ---- load >> "OBJ::FAU.obj" << The beginning of the file looks like this mtllib FAU.mtl o tile001 g kind002 v 0,323663 0,530359 0,071414 v -0,384936 0,217535 -0,473113 v -1,093535 0,530359 0,071414 v -1,093535 0,803098 -0,700011 v -0,384936 1,115922 -0,155485 v 0,323663 0,803098 -0,700011 v -0,384936 0,939468 -1,085724 v -0,384936 0,393989 0,457126 v 0,324652 0,103367 -0,078945 v 0,546008 0,234179 -0,443000 v 0,099338 0,400845 0,437734 What am I doing something wrong? I am using Jmol.jar of 14.2.4 of Aug 3, 2014 Thanks Christian On 24. Sep, 2014, at 10:49, Brian McMahon <b...@iucr.org> wrote: > Hi Bob, Christian > > This is a very timely discussion.
