• 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.

Polygon problems

This is driving me crazy and I cant figure out how to fix it. I created building, extruded some polygons to create a balcony, I did a detach on the top of the balcony to open it up, but when looking through the balcony I can see through to the ground. If I rotate the object to look underneath, I cant see through, see examples below.

Do I need to flip the polygons, or do something different, I cant find anything in the online help. Any suggestions.

Thanks.

I would draw a flat polygon on the side of the wall, attach the polygon to the building and then weld the 4 vertices to the 4 corners of the missing area. This will replace the missing plygon.

Thanks

Hi Dave,

You could also try the cap holes modifier. That should fill places with missing polygons (although the result is not always as wanted).

Another option is to just draw a new polygon. This can be done in polygon mode with the create button. If you then use vertices snap, it should not be too hard.
 
Dave,

You cound make the balcony truly 3d by detaching it then cloning it and flipping the faces on the clone. Then scale/move the points of the clone inwardly a bit, say about 4" all around, then attach it back to the original balcony. Fill in the gaps along the railing. Make more copies of the balcony if you need them. Then attach them all back to the original building.

Thanks for the options everyone. I just created a plane copied it, flipped one, sized it to the balconies, and welded into place.

Thanks again.

Dave
