Retopo Place the object then press enter? Not working?

[Teriander]

Ok,

 

In the Retopo room, Under Commands, I select "Import", Pick my obj, a dialog warning about mesh size and press cancel to continue, I then get a message "Place the object then press enter".   But that is as far as I can get.  I do not see my object to place it. Clicking anywhere in the scene does nothing. Pressing enter does nothing.  How do I actually place my new 3D Object that I just imported?

Greetings and welcome to the 3D Coat community.

 

From what you write it sounds that your models pivot or model is not centred / aligned to 0,0,0

Thanks for responding.  My object's pivot is exactly 0,0,0.  Importing for Painting and it loads correctly.   Importing for retopo, and I'm told to "Place the object then press enter" but nothing happens.

Press enter , or you can upload the model so we can test it for you.

Actually, let me ask you.  When importing for the Retopo room, should it load the model under the "VoxTree" list, or the "Retopo Objects" list?  Because when I import my obj via Retopo import, it puts my object into a new "Retopo Object".  This is not what I want, as the retopo object should be the new geometry I am painting.  Is that accurate?  

[Michaelgdrs]

It loads it as an already low poly (retopo) model.

 

File import reference mesh is then what you need.

Michaelgdrs,

 

Yep, you're right.  Thanks!!
