Project shows up as a box

Hello,

* I have a simple trial blender file which is not the default box

* In the SDK interface I click on "Project Manager"

* In the popped up browser I click "Create New Project"

* I populate "Project Name" & "Project Title" with "BJL110"

* I check "Create Application Starter Files" & "Create Scene Starter Files" & "Copy Project Management Script" & "Bundled Project" & "Web Player JSON"

* I click on "Create Project"

* I click on "Back to projects"

* I click on "player: BJL110.json"

* The project shows up as a cube rather than the 3-D object that I had in the Blender

** Where do I go wrong?

Thank you in advance.

Hi, and welcome to the forum!

Project Manager has just created apps_dev/BJL110/BJL110.blend and apps_dev/BJL110/BJL110.json which contain the default cube. If you want to have your json in Web Player, you can replace the BJL110.blend file with your blend file and click the reexport button in the Project Manager.

Thank you very much for the welcome and clarification Evgeny Rodygin.

I still haven't been able to make the project creation wizard work.
Could the following error be the cause?
If so, any ideas on how to resolve it?

AL lib: (EE) ALCmmdevPlayback_open: Device init failed: 0x80070490

Thanks in advance.

When do you see this error?
In which way Project Manager doesn't work? I've repeated your actions described in the first post and replaced blend file with my own one. After pressing the "reexport" button and clicking the "BJL110.json", the correct scene is opened.
In your case is there still the Cube on the screen?

Well I did succeed eventually on a different computer and by "saving as" in Blender (rather than file copy which may or may not be the related).
No errors on the 2nd computer.
Thanks again.

On the problem computer I get the following error when i try "re-export scenes"

File "C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.78\python\lib\encodings\cp1252.py", line 23, in decode
    return codecs.charmap_decode(input,self.errors,decoding_table)[0]
UnicodeDec

This is the case even after I unistalled blender and reinstalled it.

Thanks for the report. We'll check this issue.

Problem computer has windows 7 and the No-Problem computer has windows 10.

Could that be a factor?

I reextracted a fresh copy of blend4web and all is well now.
