Having trouble seeing mesh in 3d window?

Anonymous
Not applicable
I am going through that advanced modeling tutorial - and this problem pops up every time when i try to elevate mesh points. I do every thing correctly in 2d window, but when i go to 3d, my mesh is completely invisible. The only thing I can do is select its contours, but i can't see it. What's more i can make sections, render... but 3d window is useless when it comes to modifying mesh. I've check some of the settings and it seems ok - no filter elements in 3d checked

thanks for help

Do you have two meshes in the same location on the same layer priority?
Did you try moving the mesh away from the site, adding the contours and then bringing it back to the correct location?

What other elements that the mesh is 3 Dimensionally overapping with has a perhaps too many SEOs on?

tried all of that already, with no results. And both of the meshes are on a same layer. But when i start modifying the contours, they disappear.

"What other elements that the mesh is 3 Dimensionally overapping with has a perhaps too many SEOs on? "

-well it's a mesh, based on a DWG file - I would say that there aren't any SEOs - unless the whole process isn't in some manner, called a SEO, for some reason (I am a beginner). If you are asking me have i used Solid something operations in process of making this mesh, no i haven't

thanks everyone for comments - but it's probably just a glitch.

I think you may have a point that is deeper that your thickness of your model

just a suggestion:

why you don't post here just the mesh (deleting all the rest)?
We could download it and trying to understand the trouble...

Yes, select the mesh and contour lines and SAVE AS a .mod file.
