Only a section of my model shows up

Hi,
I have designed a few models (some 2 parts) in 3d max 8 but whenever i try to export this model and add it to the scene i either get an empty box or only a part of the model shows up in the engine.
I have tryed endlessly with other models and i seem to end up with the same problem!!!! Even though that i have added a bounded box around the model and re-selected all the objects before exporting to dts.
Please help...
Thanks

Check your normals. Usually when only parts of a model shows up, it's because of inverted normals.

My guess would be that you haven't setup the detail information correctly or linked the geometry to the DTS hierarchy. You should go and read the DTS Exporter Docs, as it will help you get your bearings.

If your useing more than channel 1 it could make parts not show up.
