File can't be open!?

Please help, i've spent rather a long time doing this model.

Bisically when I try and open the maya file I recieve the folowing message:

fileOptions "Open" "projectViewer Open";
pv_performAction "C:/Documents and Settings/Jamie/My Documents/maya/5.0/Projects/Eve/Caldari_Shuttle.mb" "Best Guess";
file -f -options "v=0" -typ "mayaBinary" -o "C:/Documents and Settings/Jamie/My Documents/maya/5.0/Projects/Eve/Caldari_Shuttle.mb";addRecentFile("C:/Documents and Settings/Jamie/My Documents/maya/5.0/Projects/Eve/Caldari_Shuttle.mb", "mayaBinary");
// Error: line 1: Reading of binary file "Caldari_Shuttle.mb" failed. //
// Error: Error reading file. //

Has anyone come accroess this before? Will I have to start the project from scratch? i've tried importing but no luck

Cheers

Have you run any diagnostics on your hard drive to ensure there are no bad sectors? You may be getting file corruption.

I have no bad sectors...

The file can be open, I may have worded that wrongly, but only one deformed cyclinder is shown in wireframe with no shader. I can see all the other objects in the Hypergraph, when selected I can apparently move and transform them in the view port but they are not showing up. Also I can assign shaders, but again the objects don't show.

Only the one object that loads renders...

Any more idea?

Cheers

A quick way to solve this is to export the objects as .obj files then import back in.

Thanks for the reply,

I tried this, however and it didn't work.

i've attatched the Maya Binary file if anyone wants to have a look at this anomoly.

Cheers,

Jamie
