Mesh not on Unity

[blackheart612]

I have made a 3D model and it doesn't appear in unity. I am really confused why. Have you guys any ideas? It appears in blender as a 3D model. When it is imported in unity it isnt a mesh.

You exporting as a .dae file?

I'm going to guess and say switch to Object Mode to save

If you save in Edit Mode then Unity throws a 'cannot import' error and your mesh doesn't show up

This has been happening for me at least since Blender 2.69 (no idea what they changed from 2.68 and earlier)

You exporting as a .dae file?

Yes, .dae.

Also, it is in Object mode. I tried to do engines with fairings today and it's weird because the fairing and the nozzle shows up but the base doesn't.

[NoMrBond]

As Unity opens .blend files directly, why export to .dae in between, do you use another program to set up animations or textures at that stage?

[blackheart612]

Good point. It was personal preference all this time. I think it worked by importing .blend. Thanks for the quick replies.

One more thing, how do I disable the fairing showing up in the thumbnail?

What is a fairing?

[blackheart612]

The one that autoshrouds the engine

You need to create a new Tag in Unity called Icon_Hidden and apply that tag to the fairing mesh.

To add a tag, click on the object in the scene hierarchy so that its property pane is shown (its name, all the Transform (location, rotation, scale) settings and so on are shown. At the top you'll see Tag: Untagged and Later: Default

Click the Untagged drop down list and go to Add Tag, then on the new screen click on Tags at the top to expand it and set the size to 1 or more, then click in the empty space to the right of Element 0 and name it Icon_Hidden and hit enter. Click on your object again and now Icon_Hidden will be one of the options for the Untagged drop down list.

Ahh, you're a hero Tiberion, I should go ahead and say you were the one who pretty much thought me how to import to KSP, just your video. I only watched one video on how to import and I know it already. Thank you.
