• 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.

Until Arno may implement further features into MCX to deal with imported KMZ files and/or other 3D model files containing non-essential faces / sides inside "closed solid" objects, Sketchup users who want to be 'doubly sure' they are removing such inner faces /sides in order to keep geometry complexity to a minimum ...may wish to try using several "Sketchup Plug-in" Ruby scripts available via SketchUcation.com Forums:


Some initial considerations in preparing Sketchup 3D object geometry for removal of inner faces / sides:

Simpler plug-ins to work with closed solids which primarily remove inner faces:
