New Model export\hidden parts

by Foestar · in Artist Corner · 04/26/2008 (8:01 pm) · 2 replies

Hey, I have made several models and managed to get all of them to export perfectly and show up in my map. However, my most recent model is a blacksmith sign which has a few smaller pieces to it. I dont know if that would make a difference, but for some reason when I export it, theres nothing wrong showing up in the dump file, but in the map some of the parts dont show. In fact, only a small piece was showing. Anyone have any idea what would cause this? I'v tried reexporting several times, and even remade the model a few times.

Id check to make sure your detail numbers are set up correctly. If you have a mesh that doesn't have a detail number trailing the name, or it has a number but no detail marker which corresponds to it, then it will lead to hidden meshes in the final export.

The details seem to have the correct trailing numbers. Though there is one part I dont get. I created the model and then grouped the pieces together. So there are several pieces of the metal framework. However, there is also a wooden sign piece of my model in the group. But it doesn't seem to have created a detail with a coresponding number for that pice of the group. Any idea why? It did it for every other piece within the group except that one piece.
