Any of you use Netfabb?

Ok, thanks, I'll message him.

If I have time later I'll try to make a little video to show the issue better.

I tried the drag and drop and stuff but I'm still having the issue :s... I made 2 videos to show the issue. The first video is just a general shows the picture from the guide, shows me drag and drop and have them disappear, and shows my mech in game.

The second video shows another weird thing I noticed, where they are all there but only appear in 1 view, and if I move it they disappear. So its not like they are all off in different places.

If it helps, this is the guide I'm using. You need to scroll down a bit for the big post he made.

Thanks for all the help

moving dif items/objects once loaded are like when doing it in Repetier Host for layout for slicing/printing. must select each item alone then move it where wanted then deselect and do next item. otherwise they merge as 1 object. often Netfab will even ask when loading an object with multiple parts if you want to leave them together or  separate parts on plate. like a different type of STL which is listed in Export menu. this is something I normaly do when slicing and save group after rescaled as a STL with new name so I can simply load a slice later or modify it again in the future if needed. as I am not that good with Netfab and other apps yet, so I use what works easiest for me. some features of programs like Netfab are disabled in free versions also.

Oops the guide I linked the guide is actually on the second page, like half way down. But it def says Nettfab basic at the top.

Pretty much to sum up what I'm doing though, is that after putting the pieces together with a Nettfab project, you then put the assembled part (lets say the torso, like in the guide), you then go into meshmixer and actually make it a half intelligent 3d printable object (instead of the weird hollow model it is to start with).

But so my problem is specifically my second video. I can put in the objects, but it wont show them all at once (unlike in the guide, where you can see his nice built mech torso of the put together pieces he added). And If I'm at a specific view it might show me all of them, but as I rotate it just freaks out and they disappear. Which I'm starting to doubt that that is normal.

Thanks for the help sofar

Ahhhhh ok it all makes sense now. When I originally tried moving with the arrow keys nothing happened. And I thought he meant I would need to move them because they would be inside each other (like a big box over a little box), not because they would be mega far away. But this time I zoomed out a excessive amount so it was this little green square and my other part was mines away. I guess the first time I tried the arrow keys I did something wrong cuz I dont think the part was even moving. Me so smurt...

Thanks a ton for the help guys

I have never used the stand alone version. In fact I only use the net based version and I have only used it for models I download from Thingiverse.

I use Tinkercad to create my stuff and that is all I ever use. It exports directly to STL which allows me to import it directly to Simplify3D and print. I have never had to use Netfabb on any model I have made in Tinkercad.

I wish more people felt this way. At least Netfabb has a desktop version.
