Whenever I try to position the dang things the object don't show up. What is going on?

1 - what does mouse equal?

2 - object 1 is 150 units aove zero (probably won't be on the camera)
object 2 is 165 units right from its natural position, and 150 higher
object 3 is 319 units to the right of its natural position, and 239 higher...

if you can see all three of those co-ordinates, then your objects will be way too small...

try this:



(This stops your camera moving to a new object each time one is created - and leaves your camera at 0,0,0 facing straight on)

and then...



then see if you can see them

I just put wait mouse there so the program wouldn't end until I click. Anyway your coordinates do not work. I still cannot see anything.

sorry, got muddled up...

should've been:


got my Y and Z axes mixed up...

camera can only see about 10 units aobve itself, so obviously 15 was gonna be too high

try that one, and see what happens this time -- also, I'll try it

Edit: New values

Whoa, I think the box is a little too close to the camera.

if it's too close, try changing the last number in the position object commands - that's distance in front of you...

either that, or make the objects smaller...
