Could you show me what exactly is happening so I could possibly help and see what’s wrong? Screenshots would help me tons so I could help you out!

Yes one moment

that one for example


..." .mesh" won't fit in that

where its highlighted on the left side in the files folder

Ah, I see. It’s likely because the name of the mesh is too long and won’t fit the .mesh portion into the name. By what it looks like, it just seems like it’s a naming problem in the file because the name is too long to put in.

When you downloaded the meshes, did it come like that? It’s possibly you can rename the file to be shorter, but I’m unsure if you can, though it doesn’t hurt to try. Keep the original name of the file just in case and try renaming it to make it a bit shorter so you can fit the .mesh into the name.

it did come like that
