Errors

There are a couple of error messages that you can encounter while you are using OBJ2FACT. Each is explained in some detail below.

No matching .mtl file

OBJ2FACT cannot find a matching .mtl file for this OBJ -> refer to the "Use .mtl File" option for further explanations.

No "usemtl" found in OBJ

This error comes up when you click "create .mtl" and the OBJ does not contain the necessary information. OBJ2FACT cannot create an .mtl from this OBJ. You can add "usemtl" entries manualy to the OBJ with a text editor. Refer to "How to add usemtl to an OBJ file" for further explanations.

No valid OBJ file

Something is wrong with your obj file. OBJ2FACT can not convert this file to a FACT.

No valid .mtl file

The .mtl file has the correct naming, but is not readable by OBJ2FACT. It can not be used for the conversion.

Unknown keyword in .mtl

OBJ2FACT has detected an unknown word in the .mtl file that can not be translated to any material property of the converted FACT file. You can continue the conversion with no problem. This error is a notification that you have an unusually formatted .mtl file.

Unknown keyword in OBJ

OBJ2FACT has detected an unknown word in the OBJ file that can not be translated. You can continue the conversion with no problem. This error is a notification that you have either parametric entries in the OBJ - they will be ignored during conversion - or the OBJ file is unusually formatted.

Note: If you discover unknown keywords please send them or the related files to ramjac Software so that we can improve OBJ2FACTs compatibility with other products in the future.
