Adding New Objects & Encoders to Easy PLC

[james.pierrot]

Hi Rafael, I moved the obj file into the Machines Simulator 3\SteamingAssets. Went to creat the new work part and it's not showing up to create it, any thoughts that would help me get this into a new workpart?

My file is an pipingBag.obj file
Thank you,

Your model loads correct (see pic.)
Have you followed the instructions explained in the Machines Simulator Instruction Guide.pdf (section Appendix)?

One thing, the mtl file must to contain relative paths for the textures not absolute:

Instead of
        map_Ka F:\Freelance\Open Projects\26Made\Richs\OBJ\bag_diffuse.jpg
   map_Kd F:\Freelance\Open Projects\26Made\Richs\OBJ\bag_diffuse.jpg
You must set:
   map_Ka bag_diffuse.jpg
   map_Kd bag_diffuse.jpg

I'll re-read the book to see where I'm messing up, I did set everything according to your email, I don't at this time know how to do the steps in the email you just sent, but I'll try.

Thank you,

Jim

I'm still not getting it, I reviewed both of Shane's videos, read the book and still cannot get the file to show up in the C:\Nirtec\Machines Simulator 3\ms3bin_Data\StreamingAssets\

I'm missing something, what I don't know?

I read the installation guide, is there another book I should be reading? I asked Shane if he knew how to use the UDC tools and he didn't, so I'm kinda left with my limited knowledge. Any help is deeply appreciated!

Send me by mail your machine file (.maq) and I will include the WorkPart with the indicated model.

Thank you for all your support, unfortunately I can't seem to get the texture to change to the piping bag, still coming out as a small box workpart33. This is clearly over my head, can you send me the property screen shot of the file so I can see if that's setup correctly. Im able to access the workpart33 but cant seem to chang the texture to the piping bag. I don't have the files you initally told me to place in the C:\Nirtec\Machines Simulator 3\ms3bin_Data\StreamingAssets folder. My disability is definitely part of the issue. But I'll get through it, I have everything else working, just need to get this file fixed correctly.

Thank you for putting up with this and my lack of computer skills

Actually it's coming out as a workpart1 as a box. I'm completely lost here
