Can't Load Asset

[railduffer]

I am adding to my own route. The asset(s) I want to use show up in the menu, but when I select it then click on the spot I want it to be located, nothing happens. Nothing is inserted. I have had this happen before. What can i do to fix the problem?
The Object Set Filter for the provider is turned on. Thanks for help.

I don't know what you're trying to add but does it move other stuff if you move the mouse near something else or does it appear to be not there at all? In other words is it invisible or not present?

It seems that the asset is not there at all. When I highlight the asset I want to use then move it close to where i want to place it, The object doesn't appear, even when I click on the surface.

Try checking beneath the terrain; sometimes objects will not appear on the "surface", and if you can't grab them by clicking on the exact spot you placed them, you'll need to dive like a u-boat to find them. Sometimes they are a bit further away than where you think you left them, so get a good bearing on the compass before you dive. I've had this happen with a few objects I've worked with. The BLE route has a few, mostly bridge objects, that like to appear just beneath the surface and need to be grabbed (left-clicked/highlighted) and guided to the top of the terrain. Please keep us posted if you have any luck with this method.

Just a tip about those BLE bridge objects and abutments. I set up the 3D origin that way so you could use the tab key as you drag them into place to make them snap perfectly into position under the track.

Thanks Wayne; I always wondered about that. I was also unaware of the "Tab-key & Drag" function. Good to know info; still so much to learn. Thanks again

I have had no luck yet picking the asset I want to use for the scene on my route. I have looked below ground and in the sky. It simply doesn't load. The same asset is used in another route I have. Yes I am copying it, but I intend to use it on my imaginary route which will never be available to others. I get more pleasure building my route than running trains on it. I had used these assets on another route I built, but I deleted that route. I still have the original route from a known developer in which these assets are used.
Any suggestions?

[wacampbell]

Which asset is giving you trouble? I'll check it out - maybe it has some some dependencies that need to be enabled.

Thanks to everyone for your attention. I am abandoning the idea, and possibly my route. I think i will build another. I enjoy building a route more than running the trains.
