When you modeled the DC component your model SKP was geo-located.
In another SKP that then makes the newly imported/inserted DC component auto-snap to the origin [0,0,0].Open the DC's SKP and use 'Model Info' to remove any geo-location data.
Save it and retry the import etc - it should now work 'normally' with the first instance being placed on the cursor for you to snap it into place.Make sure your normal Template has NO geo-location set up, otherwise this could recur...
In passing... a lot of the tubes forming the 'gate' were modeled inside out.
The blue back-face should ALWAYS be inside, with the off-white front facing outwards.
Edit the problem parts and select the wrongly oriented surface: context-menu > Reverse... to flip all of them so they are oriented correctly.
Always remember. as you work, view your model occasionally in Monochrome model [and have set a contrasting back-face color in your Style], this shows these issues.
Having flipped faces can often be inconsequential - although pushpulling etc will behave counter-intuitively etc] BUT it's bad form to model 'inside out'...
For example, if that component ever gets used in a model that is using a rendering application then there will probably be unexpected results.
Most renderers expect to color/texture just front-faces, so backs are usually ignored and colored black/white/transparent/etc depending on the rendering application... -
Woo It works hats off....Thanks
And yes i appreciate you guidelines and the ways you explain next time i will take care of it.Thanks & Regards
