Cannot Open Saved Large GLB Scene Files – Large/Complex Projects Fail to Load

Platform:[iPadOS 26 / iPad Pro 11 2018]Nomad App Version:[2.7]

Issue Description:When I import a large-scale GLB format scene file into Nomad, save the project, exit the app, and then relaunch Nomad to reopen the saved file, the app fails to load the file entirely. This issue also applies to all my previously created large/complex model scenes (with extensive content/assets) – none of these large project files can be opened anymore. Smaller/simpler project files open normally without any issues, so this is clearly a bug related to handling large/complex scenes.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Import a large GLB format scene file into Nomad.2. Save the project file and close the Nomad app completely.3. Relaunch Nomad and attempt to open the saved large GLB scene file.4. The app fails to load the file (no loading progress, stuck on launch screen, or no file access at all).

Additional Notes:I have tried restarting my tablet and reinstalling Nomad, but the problem persists for all large/complex project files.

Request:This bug severely impacts my workflow as I cannot access my completed large-scale projects. Could you please investigate this issue as soon as possible and provide a prompt response? Thank you for your urgent attention to this matter.

Hi Stephmi / Nomad Team,

Thank you so much for your prompt reply and the email address for submitting the problematic file! I want to highlight a key detail about this bug: the large GLB scene file can be opened and accessed normally in Nomad version 2.6, but it fails to load entirely in version 2.7. This suggests the issue is specific to the 2.7 update.

I will send the problematic NOM file to support@nomadsculpt.com immediately, and I’ll also include my device info (iPadOS 26 / iPad Pro 11 2018) and the version comparison details in the email. Please let me know if you need any additional logs or test files to troubleshoot this version-specific bug—happy to provide whatever is needed!

Thanks again for your help with this.
Best regards,
[Jing Chen]

Hi Stephmi / Nomad Team,
Thank you for your earlier instruction to send the file to support@nomadsculpt.com. Unfortunately, my QQ email account was rejected by your mail server (marked as SPAM), so I couldn’t send the problematic file via email as requested.
I notice the forum supports file attachments, so I have uploaded the problematic NOM file (the large GLB scene that works in v2.6 but fails to load in v2.7) as an attachment to this reply. Please check the attachment for troubleshooting—this file will help you reproduce the version-specific loading bug directly.
A quick reminder: this attached file opens flawlessly in Nomad v2.6 but shows zero loading progress/crashes immediately in v2.7 on my iPad Pro 11 2018 (iPadOS 26). I’ve also tested restarting the device and reinstalling the app, with no changes to the issue in v2.7.
Let me know if you need any additional information or further tests from my side!
Best regards,
[JingChen]
