E3: Object Error

ERROR | EditObjectAttributes | Object | <object> <Layer Path> <Group Path>

This may occur for two very different reasons.

  1. A clipping plane is enabled, which may generate the error on some clipped objects. This is usually harmless and the render will complete successfully; no action is required.
  2. The error is due to geometry imported from Sketchup. Occasionally, Sketchup objects come into formZ with bad texture UVs;

Solution, for the second (Sketchup) case:

  1. Use formZ's Select by Criteria palette and search for objects with [ERR] in their names. (The Maxwell plugin adds the [ERR] text so you can easily locate problematic objects. You can both disable this feature, and remove the error tags, if you wish.)
  2. Select formZ's Map Texture tool. Click anywhere in the modeling window to remap the problematic objects.
  3. If the error still occurs after this step, try formZ's Object Doctor tool on the objects.
  4. If the error still occurs after this step, ghost the objects so they won't be considered for export.
