I've tried to use the loader node then bring in the 3d model, after the node is loaded with the name of the 3d model i attempt to drag that into the viewport, but nothing happens. nothing shows up in the view port. Can someone hope me

Try importing the model with the File->import menu, sometimes that works better.

(as is also true in Houdini, though Houdini loves to import things only to nest them in 12 subnets, probably just the SESI mathematicians who love to mess with our minds. :D)

Edit: And don't forget this is a beta release, there's LOTS of things missing and not working correctly. Don't be discouraged if you have issues, it's a great piece of software. :)
