Default Problem with importing to Second Life (Box Creator)

Im sure this is not a bug so Im posting here.

I'm a total Noobie, but I really like the small learning curve AC3D has. I'm doing the "Make a house" tutorial and have completed it exactly, but when I try to import it into Second life alls I get is a plain white box,
I export to Second Life Boxs, (make a .slb)
Copy the text "0.400050,-0.500050,1.950000,0.629167,1.006654,0.817889,1.000 000,1.000000,1.000000,1.000000"
and paste it into the geometery notecard in SL


Anyone know what Im doing wrong?
Thanks in Advance

Here's the pics



and the SL version

The Box Creator makes an SL box for each AC3D object. Look at Tools->Hierarchy to see the objects you have. The model you show is a single object, so you get a single box.

Use menu Object->Fragment to turn this into many objects (one for each surface).

For this model, you are probably better exporting a triangle file using the Tri Creator object since anything sloping will come out as a big box in SL with the Box Creator.
