"Couldn't get version information" when importing a converted 3Dlook file

When importing a file converted on Seamly server from 3dLook .csv, the operation fails with “Couldn’t get version information” There is a mismatch. The converted file is version 0.3.3 and the application seems to expecting 0.3.4.

Workaround that worked for me: Open SeamlyMe and Make/Save a measurements file with at least one dimension. Height, for example.

Save the file as “BaseFile.smis” or something you’ll recognize later then save and close SeamlyMe

Open the converted Seamly .smis file was emailed to you in Notebook.

Copy entire “body-measurements” block

Paste the block into the new “BaseFile.smis” file you created in step 1

You can locate the smis file with the “Show in Explorer” button in SeamlyMe

You could try editng the smis file (it’s just atext file in xml format) and change 0.3.3 to 0.3.4. Of course do it on a copy if you’re unsure.

I just received a converted 3dlook file for seamly and it is telling me that it cannot get the version info also. I tried changing the version in notepad but it didn’t work. Is the only way to get it to work is do what was mentioned above about creating a “base file”??

You also need to edit the line

<pm-system>998</pm-system>

to

<pm_system>998</pm_system>

So change the version to 3.4 as well as putting the underscores in on the line “pm_systerm”

I had to do it by creating a measurement file like was stated above.

Aaa… I think know what’s going on.

Version 0.3.3 was the old Valentina “vit” extension…

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<vit>
    <!--Measurements created with Seamly2D v0.6.0.1 (https://seamly.io/).-->
    <version>0.3.3</version>
    <read-only>false</read-only>
    <notes/>
    <unit>cm</unit>
    <pm_system>998</pm_system>
    <personal>
        <family-name/>
        <given-name/>
        <birth-date>1800-01-01</birth-date>
        <gender>unknown</gender>
        <email/>
    </personal>
    <body-measurements>
        <m name="height_gluteal_fold" value="0"/>
    </body-measurements>
</vit>

where as ver 0.3.4 is the Seamly “smis” extention.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<smis>
    <!--Measurements created with Seamly2D v0.6.0.1 (https://seamly.io/).-->
    <version>0.3.4</version>
    <read-only>false</read-only>
    <notes/>
    <unit>cm</unit>
    <pm_system>998</pm_system>
    <personal>
        <family-name/>
        <given-name/>
        <birth-date>1800-01-01</birth-date>
        <gender>unknown</gender>
        <email/>
    </personal>
    <body-measurements>
        <m name="height_gluteal_fold" value="0"/>
    </body-measurements>
</smis>

So either < vit > and < version 0.3.3 > OR < smis > and < version 0.3.4 > along with < pm_system > should work. It it’s vit and 0.3.3 SeamlyMe will convert it to smis and 0.3.4
