Can't Move Imported Object

So I made a simple object in blender and imported it as .obj. I can't move it or scale it for some reason. Any help is appreciated :D

Why you can't? What is happening in Cubik Studio? Please give details...

I just experienced the same :P I have no experience in Cubik but wanted to use it to optimize and generate UVs for objects from MagicaVoxel, not sure where to begin looking :D I imported my object and then I can do nothing other then move my views around. There are certainly some quirks here I need to read up on, somewhere. Just a bit annoying when I cannot intuitively figure out how to do simple object manipulation, guess I'm just too old ;P

You do not have same issue as Jimmy. he is talking of OBJ import and you are talking of VOX import. Please create your own thread next time.
By the way to do what you want, you just have to go in Model properties > OBJ > check "Optimized Mesh + texture" > OK > Export as OBJ > Done

So in Blender, I just added a simple torus mesh, exported as .obj, opened it in Studio, and it won't let me do anything. Here's the best gif I could manage to capture, showing what I mean: https://gyazo.com/4a73906956fb532bf57522b6de58be32

It's like it's locked, but when I click on the unlock button, nothing happens. I can't scale, rotate or move it. I hope that's more clear

Sorry, I went mostly on the title and it felt related :P I did find how to activate the voxel mode and change the object settings. My test export worked fine, but now I have other issues, will post a thread if I can't figure it out ;)

Have you tried in 2D views?

Yes sir, just tried it now and it too isn't working, unfortunately.

Attach the obj+mtl+png in a ZIP and I'll test it

Alright, thank you. I don't have a texture for it yet, so there's just the obj and mtl here. I appreciate it.
