Hello,
I just bought this and I am trying to open the file .obj file but it keeps saying translation failed. Any ideas why?https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models/various/various-models/burts-bees-lip-balm

Onshape works best with Parasolid, STEP, or SLDPRT.
While you can use STL and similar file types, mesh based files do not edit well in Onshape. It will be best to convert your model to one of the main supported formats.
