Help with First Addon

Help, i updated my Model to fix my Texture and it did load but it neither showed my Part nor the Squad Parts. What did i make wrong? Here is the .cfg

PART
{
	name = Empty
	module = Part
	author = CUBER
	mesh = model.mu
	rescaleFactor = 1
	PhysicSignificance = 1
	node_stack_top = 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0,
	node_stack_bottom = 0.0, -1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0,
	cost = 500
	category = Structural
	subcategory = 0
	title = Empty CubeSat Piece
	manufacturer = CUBER
	description = Totally Useless
	attachRules = 1,1,1,1,0
	mass = 0.001
	dragModelType = default
	maximum_drag = 0.2
	minimum_drag = 0.2
	angularDrag = 2
	crashTolerance = 40
	maxTemp = 3900
	fuelCrossFeed = True
	breakingForce = 160000
	breakingTorque = 160000
	tags = useless cube sat satelite modular
}

Hi, give your part a name you can easily find in the log and re run the game, if the part does not display quit the game immediately, go to the main KSP folder zip a copy of the KSP.log and make it available for download. Or see if you can find your part in the log, it will tell you why it didn't load. 

If the model didn't display it's likely that it never loaded at all.  this could either be due to a problem with the texture or the model itself, i gather from the CFG that it is just a cube? A very simple part at least, in unity all you need to do is fit a box collider and assign the material/texture. So little info in your post it's difficult to say. 

Good policy for getting assistance is to describe clearly  what you are trying to do, what you did when trying to get it into the game,  what the parts is, supply a copy of the log and always helpful but mostly overlooked are screenshots of the parts unity set up.

Cheers

PS this should really be in the modelling and texturing sub forum rather than a plugin help sub forum, it would be seen by more model makers there

The most suspicious part of the log

I want to make a CubeSat mod where you can build your own mini-Satellite. This is a test Part that is there for Structual reasons.

You have a typo in your cfg somewhere

node_stack_top = 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0,   BAD

node_stack_bottom = 0.0, -1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0  GOOD

REMOVE the comma from the end of the line

Now this problem is fixed. I cant connect these parts.

Well thats's how it is in the cfg    you have the nodes placed on the Y axis and set at plus 1 and minus 1 meters

 and that part does not look a meter thick to me, and your bottom node must be -1 to connect to the top node of the other parts
