I hope this is the correct forum to use.

I am a relatively inexperienced modeller so there must be something I'm missing, but the program refuses to export. Even trying to export a simple textured cube the following error message appears "model failed to export due to one or more parts being untextured"
I have been running vers. 6.5.0.1 for two years and have had no problems of this nature previously.
Any advise and help gratefully received.

Hello,

I just exported a converted 6510 model and also a simple textured cube : no problem.

Are sure that your test cube is fully textured ?

Hi DOM,

Yes, I've tried again, a simple 6 sided cube tetured on all sides with the Fill toolchecked & then with the 'Count untextured' plugin to make sure. I've run the Train Sim Wizard many times with 6510 with no problems. If it came up with the "Export Failed" error it was due to some parts being untextured, fair enough.

PC specs Athlon 64 3700 1 gig ram, NVidia geforce 7900 GT driver vers 8.3.9.1.

Do I need to delete and reinstall?

Hi DOM,

One more query, is it possible to have 2 versions on the same PC as long as they are in different folders?

Thanks for your help.

regards
Frank

Hi Frank,

It is possible to have 2 versions on the same PC.
I'll check your problem with exporting from 6.6.5.3 this lunchtime.

Hi Frank,

I managed to get the same error if I right clicked and exported to MSTS, then selected "Yes" to the first prompt about creating distance levels (then "No" for custom LOD) - this will not work if the object has no group hierarchy (e.g. only a main part)

The non-custom LOD option creates an S file which has one LOD of the whole object and another LOD with just the main group and all sub groups removed,

Selecting No at the first prompt works correctly.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your advise, I'll try your suggestions and let you now later.
While I'm on a roll!! I have another problem in 6653 I'm finding impossible to select a face after I've used the Divide Tool on a face in order to adjust the position of the division. Also when moving from one file to another 3DC freezes.
Any suggestions on these would be greatly appreciated.
On a completely different note, I am remaking all of my GW toplights with a view to uploading. Would you mind if I could send you a sample for your opinion, ie if they are now good enough to upload?

regards

Frank

Hi Paul,

Good the cube exported ok now for a toplight coach, let you know the outcome.

Hi Paul,
toplight loaded in MSTS only with one LOD. In 6510 I could go up to 2 LODs. So I'll have to be satified with that.

The problem with divided faces not being selectable should be corrected now.

I'm not sure what is the problem with LOD, but I just made a change for 6.6.5.9 which is vaguely related. It may be worth trying 6.6.5.9 when it becomes available.
