hi - newbie user to threejs. trying to load my rhino obj file but can’t see anything in the scene. It’s a very complex file… code below… obj file is here: [https://storage.googleapis.com/splash-modular-development.appspot.com/OBJ/d0d3bf18-2447-4c75-a315-a6bd555e1d16.obj?GoogleAccessId=firebase-adminsdk-nzwzo%40splash-modular-development.iam.gserviceaccount.com&Expires=1742169600&Signature=qqfXZuR%2Bc8hTDdylTYFfGnfVQnoax1%2B9GFVolNL72BbZtVyXpAw53t8IWodGK%2FbsxK30XAI3Mo7YbRvvthFrdY9xj7zmvBnot4fVih0YX5k5tpRF%2B8FNeFcCX5h%2FZs1iXrNr3YiEBEQ32AWBLcG5dOrtGaJsO%2BGBHeqPLJi8PBpewHvyI1esHo2SkXt%2B1qZA59IWQO1PNwbT31bTNH%2BscAx8QqCAYfQdhYjZ1h6ds0RySwr96W8LUHY%2BfaQSUUa%2BUmB5iWVokeE8aLY0WD%2B%2F79oX4%2F0fhq2Z4jVKbM9I0RemSwUqOijcOtVCmHPNuRA1Nkw8suD9qngE4f9aU%2FueJw%3D%3D](https://storage.googleapis.com/splash-modular-development.appspot.com/OBJ/d0d3bf18-2447-4c75-a315-a6bd555e1d16.obj?GoogleAccessId=firebase-adminsdk-nzwzo%40splash-modular-development.iam.gserviceaccount.com&Expires=1742169600&Signature=qqfXZuR%2Bc8hTDdylTYFfGnfVQnoax1%2B9GFVolNL72BbZtVyXpAw53t8IWodGK%2FbsxK30XAI3Mo7YbRvvthFrdY9xj7zmvBnot4fVih0YX5k5tpRF%2B8FNeFcCX5h%2FZs1iXrNr3YiEBEQ32AWBLcG5dOrtGaJsO%2BGBHeqPLJi8PBpewHvyI1esHo2SkXt%2B1qZA59IWQO1PNwbT31bTNH%2BscAx8QqCAYfQdhYjZ1h6ds0RySwr96W8LUHY%2BfaQSUUa%2BUmB5iWVokeE8aLY0WD%2B%2F79oX4%2F0fhq2Z4jVKbM9I0RemSwUqOijcOtVCmHPNuRA1Nkw8suD9qngE4f9aU%2FueJw%3D%3D) … html code is here ```

`OBJLoader` can load the model just fine. Here is a screenshot from the `three.js editor`: ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/threejs/original/3X/0/d/0df3b51c0f7b0f2c94ab41ecd92324f726e418a2.png) Notice that it was necessary to scale down the model. You can do this in your code via: ```javascript object.multiplyScalar( 0.01 ); ``` You can then position your camera at `(60,30,90)` at let it look at the origin. I’ve also centered the model since it seems to have an offset. You can do this like so: ```javascript const aabb = new THREE.Box3().setFromObject( object ); const center = aabb.getCenter( new THREE.Vector3() ); object.position.x =+ ( object.position.x - center.x ); object.position.y =+ ( object.position.y - center.y ); object.position.z =+ ( object.position.z - center.z ); ``` Also add an ambient and directional light to your scene. ---

Thanks All. Mugen that helped great… however for whatever reason object.scalarMultiply wasnt doing much… but object.scale.set(x,y,z) did the trick! Cheers! ---

> [@Lonely\_Wanderer](#): > > What’s the difference between this and object.scale.set()? `set()` sets the given values whereas `multiplyScalar()` multiplies the given scalar with all three vector components. When `scale` is `(1,1,1)`, it has the same effect. ---

> [@jchristian](#): > > however for whatever reason object.scalarMultiply wasnt doing much The method name is `multiplyScalar()`. Not `scalarMultiply()`. Anyway, using `set()` is equally good!
