I wont use cloud or online based apps of any kind. too much lack of control and privacy.

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

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.

Thanks a ton for the help guys

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

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

I saw no netfab guide at that link. looked like some high end extra hi-def graphics?CAD/digital photography app on a very HD computer that can handle such apps. most crash trying to do such renderings in color 3D view.

the screen shots on that guys link are not Netfab images.

PS found the guide a couple pages in. looks like he used Meshmixer for most. and as for OBJ versus STL. if you intend to 3D print better use STL or you will likely be missing things or have parts misaligned has been my experience. and many of those apps cant fix OBJ easy if at all. had some other 3D file types same way either b4 or after converting to STL to slice and print. thats main issue found when searching YOBI.com for all 3D file types. many just cant be used for 3D printing and some are for dif type 3D printers like SLA or CNC or laser cutter or programs that must be bought (costly).

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.

Additionally, most models will load those coordinates, which means that they occupy the same space, so if one of your models is smaller than the other, it just may be that you can't see it because it's "inside" the other.  To separate them, click the model you want to move in the right window panel, the using your left, right, up, down keys move it to different area.

If you still can't  get it working, post the STL's here, and I'll check them out when I get back home on Sunday.

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