| Hi all. I have created my first mesh (basic.x) but cannot see it!! any ideas?? Heres my code. Graphics3D 800,600 SetBuffer BackBuffer() camera=CreateCamera() RotateEntity camera,90,0,0 PositionEntity camera,10,20,10 light=CreateLight(1) RotateEntity light,45,0,0 ; This cube appears cube = CreateCube() PositionEntity cube,10,0,0 ;But this mesh does not!!! :( test = LoadMesh("Models/Basic.x") PositionMesh test,0,0,0 While Not KeyDown( 1 ) ;PositionEntity camera,0,20,0 If KeyDown( 205 )=True Then TurnEntity camera,0,-1,0 If KeyDown( 203 )=True Then TurnEntity camera,0,1,0 If KeyDown( 208 )=True Then MoveEntity camera,0,0,-0.05 If KeyDown( 200 )=True Then MoveEntity camera,0,0,0.05 RenderWorld Flip Wend End cheers all |

| Try scaling your mesh up or down, it may be too small or large to be seen. Scaleentity test,.1,.1,.1 for example to make it 10 times smaller. |

| Yeah, that's usually the case when you're starting out. Each gridline in your modeling tool is 1 unit, so in most modeling tools one tends to make the model really huge when not paying attention to scale. So try scaling down, or move the camera further out. Ultimately though you'll want to get the scale correct in your modeling tool, so really you'll want to scale the model down there and export again. |

| Cheers guys that was the problem. But im now having problems displaying more than 1 of my meshes i have simply duplicated the code: test = LoadMesh("Models/Basic.x") PositionMesh test,0,0,0 ScaleEntity test,.0075,.0075,.0075 But have changed the instance name and changed the location so there not on top of each other, but the second mesh does not appear!!! Any ideas? Cheers |

| Try PositionEntity() instead of PositionMesh(). |
