Quote - I have been trying to figure this out for a long time now but I dont know what I've done wrong or how to correct it. Essentially, I have made this object and when finished, went to move the objects origin. Went into object mode, selected the object and hit Centre New. Phoooof!!!! It disappears completely, no sign of it Nada.... No mesh, No Data, No Origin, Nothing. Tried checking other layers, duplicating, moving, copying, exporting/importing in different formats checking for stray verts etc., decimating the mesh to the extent of it becoming unrecogniseable. Still happens. I've reached the end of my expertise (which isn't extensive). Any ideas? I really don't want to remake the mesh again unless absolutely necessary. I have a .blend file if you want to see what I mean. Thanks in advance.
Hmm... Maybe pass the file to a couple of other people.. see if they can find it. No back-up copies? Did you try to undo after it happened originally?.
Did you check the Outliner to see if it's listed?
Sometimes with me.. if the object's scale is to big or small or it's far from the camera.. the 'clipping distance' set on the camera may make it invisible. It usually happens when it's too big. I believe scale everything down seemed to cure the problem.
I'd be happy to check for you if you want. reddogzip@yahoo.com
