Can anyone help me understand this error message or any way to avoid it? Does it mean that Bambu Studio will never allow 3mf files from Thingiverse/Thangs/printables/etc?

Consider it as âinformationâ. 3mf-files are generally sort of an archive file format. You will see that message when the 3mf was not prepared / saved by Bambu studio and therefore may contain information not processable by BS. Nevertheless, you should be fine loading the model, set your settings for slicing and resave as 3mf.
This is one of my pet peeves about Bambu Studio. They shouldnât have appropriated the .3mf extension. I donât care if they use the .3mf format internally, just use a different extension for projects so users donât accidentally overwrite a model with a project (as I have done). There will also be no need to ask the user if they want to load the .3mf as a project or geometry only because there would be no ambiguity. The other thing I hate is when loading a model freshly saved from Fusion360 as a .3mf file, it asks if I want to replace settings. Where are these new settings coming from? Iâm pretty sure Fusion 360 doesnât even know to add Bambu Studio settings to a .3mf file. So are these settings just random values accidentally stored in locations Bambu Studio uses? This whole saving projects as .3mf files is confusing not only users but to Bambu Studio itself.
i did this however it seemed to lose the color changes in doing so.
This needs to be fixed ASAP. Loading a .3mf file and accept geometry only results in all the color changes be removed.
Thatâs what âLoad only geometryâ meansâŚ

But if you donât load geometry then some of the parts of the object are remove during import. Load geometry is the only way of have the entire object imported but
You lose the colors.
