<p>Opening or re-reading a project can report holes in it — a referenced STL missing from disk, or a
|
||||
mesh-geometry <code>.wct</code> file a raw geometry names but that is not there. <strong>None of these fail the load.</strong>
|

The project opens, the body that needed the missing file simply comes up without its geometry, and

the action still reports success. The message is the only thing that says otherwise.</p>

<p>These messages then take a path of their own, and it has a consequence worth knowing before you rely
|
||||
on it. A project file operation runs outside any session, so the panel's four lists — which belong to
|
||||
the service, and are where everything a <em>run</em> reports stays — never see them. Instead the first five

runner configuration the file names that would not load, leaving the project on a default one.

|

<p>Two neighbouring cases go elsewhere. A mesh-geometry <code>.wct</code> file a raw geometry names but that is not
|

there raises nothing here at all, because the load never opens it; the first word about it comes when
|
||||
the meshed geometry is next needed, and that message belongs to the run, so it lands in the Session
|
||||
Messages panel like any other. A side file the project names as a reference — the machine chain, the
|
||||
spindle capability, a material, a cutting parameter set — is the opposite case: a missing one fails
|
||||
the load outright, and that arrives as an error rather than as one of the messages described here.
