[Solved] My Retopo mesh does not appear in the paint room

[Grimmy]

I have a very low poly mesh (a cube) which I created by retopologizing a voxel cube (interesting stuff eh). When I move to the paint room there is nothing in the viewport. Shouldnt it appear here? I have UV unwrapped it.

Hard to say with so little to go on. Can you ALT + SHIFT + S to save a screen grab (retopo room) and mention what steps you took? Could be a number of things, but we're blindfolded without some visual reference.

The first image shows my box retopo mesh in the retopo room. The second image shows my paint room after I have unwrapped and merged with NM too. ..but nothing is there. ( Note that the retopo mesh IS listed in the objects popup and the texture layers are listed) 

 

Also, I just exported the retopo mesh (as a .obj), then created a new file and hit Import Retopo mesh. The mesh is seemingly imported (The UVs are displayed) but nothing appears in the retopo room view port. See image 3.

Try 3DC DX version please, not GL

Is that version more reliable? I started again in the end and everything currently seems to be working now. I'm not sure what happened?

Sometimes unexplainable behavior happens like that, and just a fresh restart fixes it. That and sometimes deleting the Options.XML file (in the MyDocs/3D Coat V4 directory). Don't know why either. But it's pretty rare. BTW, the DX version is both faster and more reliable than the OpenGL version.
