Why are 3D shapes disappearing?

I have a 3D shape linked to a resource in process flow. I send an operator to travel/load/travel/unload the shape. Visually everything is fine until the unload action. I have the operator unload the shape at a node and then the shape disappears from 3D view. Any ideas why this is happening?

FlexSim 16.1.0

@Kari Payton could you attach an example of your model?

Your problem occurs because the task executer "unloaded" the object INTO the network node. In your Unload activity you have the station set as "NN1" this means this is the container that the task executer will put the item into. If you want the object to just be "unloaded" into the model directly (as opposed to a queue or anything) Then instead of an Unload activity, I would just use a Move Object instead, and set the Destination field as model(). Then you can add a Change Visual activity to set the Location of the Object to the same x, y, and z as the Network Node to appear as if the object was set down there.

I've reattached your example model below with the changes:
