Hello anyone know why im' having this problem. using carara 3 for the macos/ using macos x i made a house with rooms( not very organized) had walls, some groups, wooden boards making the fence. I reopne the saved file and i find that say for example my living room is gone

Maybe you've accidentally made some objects hidden. In the properties panel, are there any objects that have lighter text? That's how Carrara shows you something is hidden in 3D view and/or just plain hidden from all (i.e. won't render, just hiding something in 3D view will just hide it from the assemble room, it'll still render). with the above in mind, have you tried doing a test render? Is the room still hidden? And were the objects in these groups primitives or Spline/Vertex objects? I'm using Mac OS X (10.2.8) with C3 and have had no problems, esp like the one you describe. It could be that the objects could've been moved accidentally. htp, if not, some screen captures of your scene would be helpful. If you run Grab (the screen capture utility in Mac OS X) and then click on the dock for Carrara, you can control-tab over to Grab and still have the Carrara window "below" grab. You can do a selection capture.

I didn't move anything. I even saved all the time after doing something. My objects are well. Some are spline( like the door knowbs) and the rest are just cubes , some cubes i did Boolean operations to cut open. And it doesn't seem like any objects are hidden , i see no lighter text. Doing test render just renders without any of the objects that are missing. man, this is a mystery. My house is gone!!: ) It's strange, maybe i should have grouped all the objects in the house and it wouldn't have disappeared. but oh well here are some pictures for ou to see. One is full render when i had my rooms, second is picture of the reopened file with objects gone and notice too. in the one with gone objects, i think where i used a cube to do a subtract boolean to make a hole for the door, notice that the cube i used is there but the room is not. weird, it reversed the boolean

Ohhh i got it Mr Mongo, i was looking at the picture and notice how it's only the rooms where i did boolean operations that are gone. how weird. So why aren't booleaens showing up.

Where do you do your booleans? You can boolean in the assembly room or the vertex modeler. Are you doing all your saves from the assembly room? Just fishing for ideas.... Ed

yes sailor ed. I'm saving in the assembly room, i dont go at all in to vertex modeler for this, since i'm not doing any complex shapes. I just used the preset cube objects mostly and enlarge them , pull them etc. so no, no vertex room thanks
