Part Invisible?

[Jlam98]

I've tried to create a mod following this tutorial, with the part successfully showing up in the parts section, though whenever I try to place the part, it does not show up except for the attachment node.

When I hover over the supposed location, nothing shows up, and I can't right click it either.

Not sure whether the harvester thing works or  not, but it shouldn't affect the part appearance eh? I apologize in advance if I haven't given enough information about the problem, but I will quickly reply with the information you need if required. Thanks guys

Could it be that Unity 4.3.4 does not work for KSP?

first, always set you object position to 0 on all axes in unity (especially the parent object), right know i see it as x=4 y =0.8 z=2

4.2.2 is (as of now) the recommended version as it's the only one that still support the animation correctly, but all later version work fine if you don't have any animation on your part.

.also, check you KSP log file to see if all the texture needed fr your part are loaded.

I had this problem once - I think I had moved the textures by accident. So maybe a missing or mis-named texture?

A problem with import scale ?

Click the imported object and check if the scale is set to 1

yep, that can also be a problem here, some file import in a different scale, for exemple, FBX import at 100 scale by default.

thanks guys, problem solved

What was the problem? (for future reference)

This is my first ever mod. Also my first ever time using blender. I did not know how to use units in blender. it turns out the part was there.... just bigger than the friggin hangar itself, which is why I couldn't see it.
