Thanks, but let's debug it first ).

I see following files uploaded to server:
Rook.stl, The Ghost.obj.stl, MATTOSTROM_SKULL2.obj.

Successfully uploaded skull (see attachment) from Chrome.
Also did minor changes to satisfy Firefox (m@b, please try again,
clearing cache before), but unfortunately I have no Brave and Opera for
testing. Bill, could you please look at the browser's console
(usually F12) and send me content ?

Firefox works fine, but you have two meshes in one OBJ file
(see attachment), but the only one is converting.
Just merge them together and you will have a complete skull :).

Rook was uploaded and conversion also successful (attached), but you
do not see it because pivot point is shifted and object is too far from
origin. Just play with zoom/pan/rotation or fix it's position.

The same things with "hand" and "ghost" (see attachments).
I will think about automated objects positioning ...

Tried again just now - I see no grid or rotation, or controls for zooming or
panning.

When I was very new povver, I would draw arrows from the origin to objects or
light sources to help me find where things were when they were out of view.

You could also possibly have a labeled grid, and display the center of the
object in text.  Maybe have a checkbox "Center at origin".

OK, maybe since a lot of objects are things that sit on a surface, have a second
checkbox that centers the object, and has its ymin set at 0.

Bill, first of all please check if your browser supports WebGL:
https://webglreport.com/

Then select _console_ tab after pressing F12 and look for
errors there.

Axis will act as reference. I will think about centering after
collecting more information and samples.

Pan/Zoom/Scale can be controlled only by the mouse -
this is standard now and I don't want to implement complicated
environment.

Many thanks for testing, wishing well :).

This is the point for discussion: should converter change
object's coordinates or just repack then into other format ?
I guess, this is the editor's function.

Maybe, it will be better just position the camera to look at object
and set acceptable zoom ?
