• 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.

3DS Max Slicing 100m in3dsMax

Hi everyone. Can someone point me in the right direction on how to slice my plane in 3dsMax. I'm using ModelConverter X but it doesn't seem to compile right.

Thanks.

The simple way is to either use the Slice Plane in the Polygon rollout, or add a Slice modifier. The modifier often ends up with fewer stray vertices, but each modifier is good for only one slice, then you have to add another (in GMAX, anyway).
 
Thank you for your response Tom. I had triangles in my scenery on the ground. I added a slice modifier and sliced it every 100 meters. This seemed to have worked!

That depends on the 3D CAD program you are using to create it.
 
What I normally do is setting the snap to the grid and set grid to 100 meters. The get the slice plane up. Rotate it to 90 degree ( set rotation snap to 90 degree). Then you are ready to slice your plane and all of them will be exactly 100 x 100 meter rectangles.
