Exception comes

Yes, you have to do differently.

(Note: better answers will be provided for better questions. Like, don’t mention an exception without details like a stack trace.)

You need to learn to read better. I asked for something.

I’ll repeat it here. Don’t bother posting about an exception without including a stack trace. When you do, it makes other forum readers want to commit bodily harm on your person.

Bottom line: EXCEPTIONS ARE COMPLETELY 10000000000000000% USELESS WITHOUT A STACK TRACE.

Basically, you walked in here and said “I have a problem, can someone help me.” and provided little other info.
You: “Hey, car mechanic… tell me how to fix my car.”
Mechanic: “Can I actually see the car or hear about the problem.”
You: “…”

Anyway, let’s play the game as written…

Yes, create a j3o file with only a geometry in it.

…or find the literally hundreds of other threads talking about scene graph structure and how sometimes a j3o contains lots of geometry in a hierarchy of nodes. Learn what the scene explorer is and how to look at your j3o and see the hierarchy. Do some tutorials.

…or move on to a game development tool that supports more drag-and-drop coding like Unity.

java.lang.ClassCastException: com.jme3.scene.Node cannot be cast to com.jme3.scene.Geometry

this is the exception

[SOLVED] How to add collision to a j3o file?

Hello! Is there any way to add collision to a j3o file, so a the player cant walk through the faces? I have looked at all the “Hello” tutorials and done some google searches, but they all imply that its not possible. Is this because j3o’s have no mesh? Can I add a mesh to make this possible? If it is not possible then can I do it with my 3ds file, or do I need to convert it? (the reason I haven’t converted it to a blend or obj is because the textures don’t seem to appear) Thanks for any hel…

Check this thread, it contains some walk-through and investigation for case similar to yours.

EDIT: also note we are here talking about java code, at least without a code and detailed exception noone could help you, unless one of the expert core developer who can catch it by little details, so increase your chances to get your issue solved by giving us more elaboration

The problem is you are loading a model that contains a parent node.

Try opening up the .j3o in the scene composer or iterating through all the children to find the geometry.

Once the geometry is found you can do myModel.getChild(whatever geometry child); and cast it to Geomery
