Importing obj files

Managed to navigate to the new environment in vscode when choosing my python interpreter; but again I see that conda version is 0.11 (when I print ). I am getting a feeling that this problem is not related to compas so I apologize for taking your precious time with this; but do you think I am missing something in vscode; or would you recommend uninstalling and installing COMPAS again using these two:
conda uninstall -arch compas
conda install -arch python=3.7 -c conda-forge compas=0.15.5

ps. after uninstalling, I figured out it was still reading compas from the base environment, in spite of having chosen the python interpreter from the specific environment.
