I just tried to import an object in Dn 4.0.4, did get that dialogue. I have seen it before, but dont remember what I did wrong. Could you share that .obj file, so I can try to help you solve it.  In the meantime, you could try this, if you have Photoshop 2021 version 22.2 (which has a fully functional 3D) and open that obj file and save it back and then import from Dn 4.04. Did you create that obj in illustrator? or download it from the web? I know its frutrating, but hopefully your issue could be resolved. Good luck,    Could you share that .obj file. ... View more

I completely agree with you — to fully utilize Adobe Dimension, having a powerful machine is essential. For reference, I use an M1 Mac, and I’ve been able to successfully design projects without significant issues. For example, I recently created a design see attached screenshot in Illustrator and imported it into Adobe Dimension. However, I encountered a problem with a carry-out motor oil tray model with one plastic oil container I was working on, specifically with the cap. Initially, the ridges on the cap were drawn as individual lines in Illustrator, which caused some performance issues when loaded into Dimension. To fix this, I went back to Illustrator, grouped all the ridges together into one object, and after that, everything ran smoothly in Dimension.   I’m sharing this in case it helps others experiencing slowdowns or crashes — sometimes simplifying complex parts of the design in Illustrator can make a big difference when importing to Dimension Hopefully this October Adobe is releasing their new 2025 apps according to an adobe tech, addressing those issues in Adobe dimension. ...

try to reinstall Dn 4.03, and see if you still can't duplicate.. on a Mac,  command+D is a short cut for duplicate, or you option click and drag.. And try to bring graphics as a decal to place on your object/ model. If you can't then convert your model  to a standard model, the icon is in the same spot on the right for "place graphics" . ... View more

Why not. You stated "I'm still completely lost on how this new Dimension (and even Stager) handles cameras." so I shared a video to help understand how cameras work. This way any user can check and give feedback to the issue.  If this is the place to report bugs, it should be clear and checked,  any feedback will help expedite the process, according to my conversation with Adobe Tech yesterday they said they have a new dimension coming out in October and I wanted to ensure they take care of all these bugs before they publish it and if you are the only person that's mentioning it and no one else respond they might not consider it as a bug so I had to report my own feedback plus with some extra information for other users to explore the camera and then report a feedback if they don't use the camera, they will not be able to use feedback because they don't know how to use it and posting that video tutorial will help you in the long run,   ...

I agree with you, the logic behind it, if you set a camera view, the viewport camera should be able to hold that particular view, even if you did a change in another view.  I just tested it; if you change the orientation on a camera view and go back to it it doesn't go back to original setting.  here is a great link on YouTube posted by one of the users on this forum,https://youtu.be/7f96OKs2nV4?si=uKqDmyWH1YmY6Ffw. BTw, I have  found ChatGPT 4, the free one, knows its software, just be sure to ask for the version 4.0.3. When I asked it it responded that it could be a bug. Here what ChatGPT response  In Adobe Dimension 4.03, the viewport camera system allows you to set multiple camera views (e.g., Camera One, Camera Two, etc.) to save different angles or perspectives of your scene. When you adjust the view slightly and return to a previously saved camera (e.g., Camera One), it should revert back to the original saved orientation of that camera. If it doesn’t and the camera angle is altered, that suggests either a bug or an unsaved camera position. Here’s how it’s supposed to work: • After setting a camera view (like Camera One), you need to explicitly save that view. This prevents any accidental overwriting if you adjust the scene later. • When you move away and return to a camera, it should reset to the last saved position for that camera, not to the modified orientation you left it in. If Camera One is not returning to the exact original view after switching, double-check if you’re saving the camera positions correctly. You may need to update or save the camera view again before moving to another camera. ... View more

sorry,, I just saw this, No you cant export from illustrator with an object that has a mesh or a gradient  applied to it, Illustrator would not export that as 3-D. This function was opssible in Photoshop 2023, it was the last fully functioning 3D. I think it was missed when 3D and Materials was introduced to Iluustrator. Tech team needs to look into, it has been mentioned 18 months ago, I reported it, but nothing happened so far. ...

I thing I found a bug in 4.0,  would like to know if others have same issue, on Mac Studio M1. the background image, if I import it, it's icon on the right panel disappears after working with few adjustments to my model, if I replaced an image from left side of dimension panel, you will see it again, but then once you replace it with the image that you want from your desktop, the icon disappears again unless restarting the app I want to see if others have that before I make a report,  thank you ...

Lots of confusion with the letter L, cmnd+L is a toggle for lock and unlock. L is a shortcut for lights. But the icon for the lock does not change, it should show an open lock or closed lock, it seems to be stuck on closed, but it still works with the shortcut. this needs to be addressed. ... View more

I have been using the new Dimensions 4.0.3 with a smile on my face, I'm so happy Adobe has refined it. a word of caution on some changes in the shortcuts. The Movel Tool is now W, the Scale Tool is R, Selection is still V. The Align & Distribute D, has moved to the left side with all other tools, the Horizon Tool N, has been consolidated with the Orbit Tool window. also on the Keyboard shortcuts Shift+Opt+Cmd+K under General, scroll towards the bottom to changes default substance material resolution from 1024px  to 2048px or 4096px or even lower.   ...
