    At first through the Vehicle Creation tutorial, I could load up my model and see the truss cage. Afterwards, I proceeded further with the tutorial to visible mesh. Now when I load it up, I see nothing, not even the truss. Please look into attachment.

    I have checked the file names and they seem to be fine?

    in your DAE file you named your mesh Cube
    in your jbeam you want to use a mesh called Tug_body

    you have to use the same name

    I tried replacing all instances of Cube with "Tug_body" in .dae but it still didn't work. Do I only replace the first instance with the name ID and mesh?

    Edit: Now the problem is different. Replacing the name, still spawns invisible but it is high above the ground.

    If the Finished model is available from the Wiki Vehicle Creation Tutorial, If so, can you please link it? I would love to compare and understand & moreover, self troubleshoot.

    Thanks!

    Two things:
    1. Don't use "find and replace" or something in the DAE. Work on your model, change it's name, etc in your 3D modeling program (Blender, 3ds Max, etc) and export the DAE again. If for some reason you don't have the original file just re-import the DAE and then re-export it after making your changes (such as renaming the object from "cube" to "Tug_body").
    2. RE: your mesh not being where you expected it to be. You may need to "apply" some things. Take a look at my post here: https://www.beamng.com/threads/engine-mesh-wont-stay-put.40322/#post-605039
