Question about editing earrings and rings with stones (3dm file), Rhinoceros + Matrixgold 3D software versions

Discussion started by osmarprioli

I bought earrings with stones to be set in resin,
but the stone doesn't fit, and
I also can't open the 3dm file sent (STL is ok), it's giving an error message.
I use Rhinoceros3D v4 and Matrix 6.0.

Will I have to update my software?
thanks in advance

The reason you can't open the 3dm file is that it was likely saved in a newer version of Rhino (like Rhino 6 or 7). Rhino 4 cannot open files from newer versions. You can either:
1. Ask the seller to 'Export' the file as 'Rhino 4 3dm' for you.
2. Update your software to a newer version.

Regarding the stones not fitting, since you have the STL, you might need to adjust the offset or scale the setting slightly in your software before printing to compensate for resin shrinkage.
