• 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.

Dear Arno,

I am having problems exporting from gmax to mdl using the mdlcommander.

1-some are exported with no problem
2-some give an error in the logfile following is an example:

(Part wall01) Found colocated vertices within triangle
(-10.233637, 8.148811,-26.086134)
(-10.233638,11.247669,-26.237915)
(-10.233638,11.247666,-26.237917).
(Part wall01) Found colocated vertices within triangle
(-10.233637, 8.148811,-26.086134)
(-10.233640, 9.711969,-26.162697)
(-10.233637, 8.148809,-26.086136).
Model units are 1.00 units/meter
Error!
Error!

3-some are giving the error displayed on the attachement!


As for the same files if I use the original makemdl I have no problem at all!!

any idea!

take care

Jad

The last errior is probably when you have only added an platform or so (no visual objects left). So that should be possible to solve by adding also something visual.

The other error is something inside your model. Seems you have triangles wih only 2 unique points.

I find it interesting that you only get this when using MDLCommander, are you sure about that? I always thought it were problems inside MakeMDL.
 
Hi Arno,

I am 100% sure that the error doesn't show while using the original makemdl, and as for the c++ error, the object I am exporting is not a platform it was a No Crash item, but I removed the No Crash from it and it still gives me the same error!

regards

Known error :)
I got the same when I made some boolean/add-remove objects. For example, I have put a cube in gmax. then I put a slightly smaller cube inside the bigger and then boolean substract. Okay. Export no problem. Bit because the door opening was too big, I have created two boxes at the front to smaller the "entrance hole", On one side boolean add worked okay when exporting, on the other side not. Who would know, MDL commander problem or gmax problem... :)

Best regards,
 
OK guys,

the colocated vertices problem is solved by ticking ignore warning in the makemdl, anyway I think that makemdl remedies this problem by welding the vertices while creating the bgl!

But I am still stuck with the C++ problem, and it is shutting makemdl down!!

Best Regards!

But does your scenery with the C++ crash contain more then a non-crash box? There should also be something visual in the scenery, else you get such a crash.
