Metal render with 2 pipelines, the second object overlap the first object - metal

Question

I have 2 objects, one is with texture, the other one is without texture. I use 2 shaders and I use 2 render pipelines to draw the 2 objects. the 2 object are drawn fine...but when the second obejct is drawn ...it overlaps the first object, so only the second object is on screen... don't know where goes wrong...Maybe because the pipeline is not used right, in the last part of the draw() function. the model draws properly first, but when the sky is drew, the model disappeared...Please help me,,,Thanks

Change the passDescrForSky function passDescriptor.colorAttachments[0].loadAction = .Load
Then the 2 objects are all shows up...Something happen to the position...the first one needs to be adjusted...
