3d models in vizard 5

[pralka]

Hi,
I'm trying to use code written in vizard4 with vizard5. It's quite simple: contains walls, animations and two 3d models. Everything except models works fine.
Does anybody know why models (.dae) don't show up and how to fix it?
Many thanks in advance

Are you getting any error messages when loading the model?

If not, then it's most likely a scaling issue. The Vizard 5 Upgrade Guide (http://docs.worldviz.com/vizard/Upgrade_guide.htm) mentions that Collada models will be automatically scaled to meters by default. You can disable this option by adding the following line to the beginning of your script, before any models are loaded:
viz.setOption('viz.model.apply_collada_scale', 0)
Try that and let us know if it doesn't solve the problem.

The last section in the 3D models (http://docs.worldviz.com/vizard/#3D_model_creation_basics.htm) page has links to web repositories for 3D Models.
