Hello,

I need help from someone who has some knowledge of 3d rendering programs! (looks at Han891 inquisitively, please?)

I am going out for the night, but would like to make the request to see if anyone knows how to solve this problem!

Anytime I import any type of file into 3ds Max (both 8 or 7) that is not of the 3ds file type, I can make it look fine in other programs and it even shows up in Gal Civ II but it anytime anything is added to that ship the ship disappears and no more items can be added (the item is the only visible part of the ship now), but it WILL show up correctly if you still save the design and build/buy it....and works from then on...It seems almost like it has something to do with the dummies that I'm using for the blanks pieces.

Now, if I use the 3ds file type, the ship will not even show up in the game, but will show up in rendering but no other program! Its very frustrating because I am so close to putting out the borg ships along with many federations!

Any idea on how to get this to work correctly?
