Hi, everyone! Question about 3D Layer Merging.

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and very much new to using Photoshop, as well. I've mainly used it for touching up photos, but I purchased "Adobe Photoshop CC Classroom In a Book" a month or so ago. After working through it a while, I've come to the lesson on "Working with 3D Images". It has you insert some 3D objects, and then merge these 3D layers together. These objects are a box, a wine bottle, a wine glass, a postcard, and some text.

In the book, it instructs you to hold Shift while merging these layers, and it shows you how the result should appear. My result is certainly nothing like this, and there are some other oddities as well. Here is what I notice:
  • Upon merging, the 3D objects are not perfectly lined up in front of one another as they are in the book's picture. Instead, the objects are all seemingly merged at the some point (they all appear to be inside of the box)
  • After merging, the resulting merged layer does not have a folder for each object like it does in the book. In the book, on the 3D panel, it has Wood_Layer, Card_Layer, Wine_Bottle, WineGlass_Layer, etc. On mine, it has: Cube Wrap, Card Mesh, objMesh, Wine_Bottle (this one is correct, it actually made a folder).
I'm doing everything, step by step, so I'm not sure why the results of the few steps it gives up to this point would produce such different results. I've searched all over for a particular solution, but I haven't found anyone else having a similar issue. If anyone has used this book before and can give some insight, it would be much appreciated. If not, it's not the end of the world, as I don't plan on doing much (if any) 3D work in photoshop... I just hate not being able to finish the examples. Thanks!
