Hello,
I need to export my model to stl. I selected part 1 end exported it. It created file with some size (800 kB), but when I opened it in onshape (or also in Tinkercad) it wrote that import was succesfull, but I cant see the model. There is Part 1 in side tree, but no model. I tried also .obj format, simple model etc, but nothing helped. What can be wrong? Thank you.

    Maybe just try to zoom in a bit? It seems it is a very small part.

    I just checked and exporting seems to work for me.  is it possible there is mixing up of exported and import unit systems or something?

    Well, ofcourse I tried to zoom before, but not so much. The issue was in export scale (meteres instead of milimeters). Thank you
