Artwork/Graphic Layers Being Removed from Models on Save

[levis65501741]

Hello,

Wondering if anyone else has been running into this glitch with the most recent version of Dimension (v4.1.1) but a good majority of the files that I work with will remove my graphic layers entirely on all of the models in my file when I save my document. I've also tried "Save As..." a new file entirely in a new location and I still run into the issue.

Like I said, I'm using Dimension v4.1.1 and I'm on a MacBook Pro 16-inch running the Sequoia 15.2 OS.

Thanks!

Are files created with  (v4.1.1) previously with previous versions or are composed with new version?

Hi Ares, most of these have been composed with a previous version of Dimension.

The issue might be related to the UV Mapping of your object. If your model doesn't have a proper UV map, Adobe Dimension may struggle to correctly apply and retain decals when saving. Here are a couple of solutions:

1. Generate a UV Map: In Adobe Dimension, select your object and generate a UV map. This ensures that the decal has a proper surface to adhere to.
2. Check Your Model's UVs: If you created the object in another software (like Blender or Photoshop), make sure it has a UV map before importing it into Dimension.
3. Use Smart UV Mapping in Blender: If you're using Blender, apply the Smart UV Project before exporting your model as an `.obj` file.
4. Try Different File Formats: Some users have reported issues with `.fbx` files. If your decal isn't working, try exporting your model as an `.obj` file instead.
