Hard to describe, but when I load a part, slice it, then preview it all is well.
If I then duplicate that part x number of times, and re-slice it, the preview still only shows the original part.
I have to delete the original part, the re-copy one of the copies to get it to work.

For example, I load "part 1", slice it, preview it= good
I duplicate "part 1" 3 times for a total of 4 parts (parts 2, 3, and 4)

When I re-slice the job, the preview will still only show part 1- even if I move it it shows up fine in its new location on the preview, but the other models wont.

To fix I must remove part 1 then copy say, part 2 one time, to get a total of 4 files.

On larger files it sometimes crashes S3d.

ahhh yes thats part of your process settings. click on your process. all the way at the bottom is a button "select models". remember with creator you can print 6 different models at the same time with a different process applied to each. when you have multiple models you need to select which ones you want the process applied to.

Ahhhh, thanks Jim! That will save me some frustration

CADMan,

Don't do what I did when I ran into the same situation. I had a "print job" of 6 parts in one run. I imported part #1, applied a process to it, imported part #2, put in a second process for it, etc., etc. Ended up trying to print each layer six times. I walked away for about 10 minutes after the first layer (okay, the first of 6 prints of the first layer) looked good. What a mess!

I think I PayPal'ed an order for a new hot end that same evening.
