    Problems importing 3D object

    Hey,

    I finished making an object in sketchup and converting it to .obj (using 64x) about 2 hours ago. Now I'm attempting to use the item I've created but for some reason it doesn't work, all that shows up is the box (I manually defined it) and a small dot (3mm in the plan).
    Was wondering if someone would be able to help me as I am totally lost.
    I am using x5

    Try exporting a .3ds from sketchup and importing the .3ds into Chief.

    Might be a scaling issue too. That dot may be your object, but very, very small.

    This seems to have been the issue, I managed to get around it but don't remember how.

    Thanks for your help!
