Problem with Torque Constructor

#1 I haven't used constructor a whole lot, but, it sounds like a coordinate problem... i use 3dsmax and depending on if you have "Local" "group" or "world" selected as a transform it will yield much diferent results ... check the help or wiki for which coordinate system to use for mass rotation of objects on a single axis (if this is a TC feature at all)

#2 It is breaking apart into convex geometry. Before deselecting it, group it to keep it together. Also make sure whether you are on brush or face or vertex selection.

#3 Thanks for the advices. But I'm still having the same problem. I've group all the objects but when I rotate the objects, it still rotate as individual object.

I use 3D max to create my buildings. How can I export to torque? I've already install the exporter but it is for DTS and not DIF. When I open in Constructor I cannot edit the object and when exports to DIF and place the object in the world editor the character cannot go through the door because of the bounding box.

#4 The Max exporter is for creating detail models, which is why you are getting DTS models. That's exactly what should be happening. However, Constructor does not do any conversion. All it does is load the model and reference it in the BSP geometry. It does not make it a DIF. The new geometry that you create is the DIF. The DTS model is referenced.

Have you looked at the door resources to create DTS doors that open?

#5 Greetings!

It sounds like your Action Center may be set to Object Origin. I'd recommend trying the various choices under the Edit->Action Center menu and see if that helps. You'll likely want either Mouse or Tool or Selection for most operations.

I hope that helps.

#6 Thanks a lot Lightwave Dave, I've got it now and thank also David Blake for the advices.
