• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Hey, new to sode jetways, had a question, what if i model the jetway in sketchup giving name to every component as stated in the Sode. Then exporting to 3dmax for annimation will that be a good idea?

Or should i learn modeling in 3dmax make the nodel in that software. I choose sketchup cause its more user friendly. I have nit used 3dmax that often hence im noob at it atm thanks
 
You can do it, ive done it before, you just named it perfectly on the 3DSmax component stuff

heres a tutorial i made on exporting the model to 3dsmax then to sode, i hope this helps


(turn on CC, i found a fix on the wheel problem at minute 23:24,thanks)


PS:i forgot to mention, after clicking "create jetway" you can follow this tutorial to make sure everything exports correctly
and yes for those if ur jetways doesnt move in MCX after exporting may sure SKINNED MESH is ticked from the textures menu in mcx. every textures needs to be done the same
