Library Objects

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have been trying to create a library part.
The steps I have followed are:
Put object in 3D mode, view in perspective and adjust the settings so the object is viewed from above. Make the object straight and square, then click OK.

I have then gone to save the 3d model as an object, checked 'remove redundant lines'.
I have then tried saving it as an editable GDL script, and as a non-editable script.
In the first case when importing the new library object into a project, it showed up on plan, but not on elevation or in 3D mode.
In the second case, it again showed up on plan, also elevation, but still not in 3D mode.

Please help!
Many thanks,
Emily Norman

Try it again, this time viewing in Parallel view, not perspective.

Thankyou for your suggestion, but I was already in that mode...

I've tried changing the material settings, copying it onto a new document, and changing lots of the 3D object saving setting... but I keep having the same problem!!

It's getting very frustrating...!

NO, you weren't. You said yourself you were in the PERSPECTIVE view of the 3D window. You need to change to Axonometric
