For displaying a shape in the 3d view it must be tessellated to get a list of triangles. However, there are cases where the tessellation fails and this error message is printed.
Cannot compute Inventor representation for the shape of Shape.
Cannot compute Inventor representation for the shape of Shape.
Most often you get this message when your shape is an empty compound.
