Huh, model is in outliner, but not displayed

[Chip_Cookie]

Dear All,

Please find attached my model file.

I would like to know if anyone can open it and see the Robin flying body.

After trying to do a Solid Component>Trim, the model disappeared from view, but is still there in the outliner. The model also still has 3.2mb of info in the file. The graphics engine doesn’t seem to make a difference.

Thanks,

C.C.

Hi Tom,

This is what I see when I open the file you shared.

Is it possible you haven’t saved the file to it’s current state?

What do you see if you turn on Hidden Objects?

I do note that you’ve scaled the components and groups without scaling their definitions. Maybe that is involved here.

I fixed the scaling.

Dave,

Thanks tons as always.

Maybe it is a Mac thing. The scaling was intentional, I didn’t know it could cause a problem.

I opened the file, and it is all screwed up. The horiz. stabilizers have somehow bonded to the Robin body, despite being separate entities.

I will keep working on finding the origin of the problem.

At least you can see the model!

Cheers,

The scaling was intentional, I didn’t know it could cause a problem.

I figured the scaling was intentional but if you scale the component or group instead of the geometry inside, the defintion doesn’t get updated and that can be a problem.

They are in the same parent component but they should still be separate from the body. At least it is on my end.
