where is the grinder

I see it in all views
it is the orange thing
but it is NOT in the F12 pic!
the wheels and cutter are there (they are parented to the grinder)
ideas!!
Help!!

I think blender thinks it is an emitter.
I tried deleting all the particle system things but it seems to keep creating more!

Look at the outliner and see if the render button for that object is deselected. And are they all on the same layer? Giving out the Blend file might help us a bit.

yes they are all on one layer.

Your using the grinder itself as the particle emitter. For it to render, you need to turn on the “emitter” button in the visualisation panel.

great!
now how dio i do that?
thanks

under the 'visualisation section of the particles pannel there is a button called [emitter] and that toggles whether the mesh that emitts the particles is rendered or not so click it to get it rendered.

I seem to have made emitters without knowing that was there!
