I'm trying to open a file as output so that I can write converted model data to my file. The problem currently is, even though the path does exist, and the file is created, it isn't actually open. I've tried removing the !is_open() check and of course it segfaults since it isn't open. I've added ios_base modes to specify how to open the file, and tried switching to a blank ofstream constructor and implicitly calling .open() to no result.
Again, the path is absolutely correct, a file is in fact created at the right path, it just isn't opening for whatever reason. Permissions are fine, I even tried running as root to no success.
