Why is my model not showing up in Arma, I can't Find it?

[grahas 11]

I have a simple .p3d file and a config for it. But when I pack it to a pbo and put it in to the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 3\@myaddons" I boot up ArmA and look for it in the editing area but it doesn't come up.

config file. The asset is a simple static table.

class CfgPatches 
{ 
   class LifeTimeTable 
   { 
       units[] = {}; 
       weapons[] = {}; 
       requiredVersion = 0.1; 
       requiredAddons[] = {}; 
   }; 
}; 

class CfgVehicles {     
   class Static; 
   class LifeTimeTable : Static { 
       scope = 2; 
       model = "\LifeTimeTable\LifetimeTable.p3d"; 
       displayName = "Table"; 
       faction = "Empty"; 
       vehicleClass = "Small_items"; 
   }; 
};  

thats the model

So all in all what am I doing wrong? My goal is to get the asset in to arma 3. Thanks for any help, I'm still a noob

In your @myaddon folder do you have another subfolder named "addons" and then within that have your pbo? (More of an assurance question)

I do not, the folder hierarchy is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 3\@Addonpbo's\LifeTimeTable.pbo"

Should I? I looked in the other folders that had the "@" and they just had the .pbo file so that is just what I did.

Yes, I would recommend doing it, and I don't know which mods your using but I have ~20 for my unit and every single one goes: \@Mod\addons\file.pbo

Its possible to get unstable results when your classname is the same as your actual p3d model name. Change one of the two

Is it ok if there is a one case difference? or is arma not case sensitive?

Well for your model, just change to LifeTimeTable_F, or something like that

no that is incorrect..the best way to make sure your models don't EVER interfere with another mod is to use a prefix unique to you or your mod. so for instance you could pick gra_LifeTimeTable.p3d or similar...opfec.com is where you can register and check to see if others are using that tag already then pick another one. it comes in especially handy if you plan on releasing your models to the public in aaddon
