I hope someone can help with this.
Lately, Whenever I bring in some older files done in 4.5 to Maya 5.0, they open completely messed up.

For example, when I opened a character I did, the skeleton was laying down, reverse feet were positioned properly, and my skin was completely gone.

I opened another model I did and when it opened, half the surface was all twisted, faces missing.

Any ideas as to why this is happening or how I could fix it?

never heard of a problem like that in maya before. thats´s why i can give you only some possible workarounds.

- optimize your 4.5 scene and save it under a new name
- save your 4.5 scene as an external format (best is *fbx)
- save it as maya-ascii
- try to import you 4.5 scene instead of opening in 5

if nothing helps contact alias support. would be interesting what problem you have.

greets and good luck
marco.
