• 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.

Hi All,

Could someone shed a little light on a couple of errors I'm running into when running Makemdl on a *.x file generated by FSDS3.

The errors are:

(Part gutter) Found colocated vertices within triangle
( 0.104851,-11.608308, 0.029261)
( 0.105156,-11.620805, 0.000000)
( 0.105156,-11.620805,-0.000610).

and

(Part gutter) Found colinear vertices within triangle
(-0.020422,11.351362, 0.000610)
(-0.074371,11.351362, 0.000610)
(-0.087478,11.351362, 0.000610).

Now, I can see the problem, above, within the data. My question is, how might I correct it? Attached is a copy of the FSDS object. Also, when I create a .bgl file of this object from within FSDS, the object displays perfectly within FS9. Hmmm...

Thnx in advance,
Larry

There are two schools of thought. If you're seeing it fine in FS9, why bother? On the other hand YOU will know that the model suffers in silence from the dreaded degenerate poly ( to use the FS-X term) disease!

For the co-located vertices, a snap to scale (make sure you reset your project's scale factor to .002, if you're using feet as your units) will cure that.

For the colinear vertices, you'll have to do some searching to find the errant polygon. Basically, this is a "one line" polygon. Typically, I'll search for it by going into polygon mode, turning on "view->show normals" and look for a thin white line witih a normal sticking out.
 
Felix,

Thanks much for this info. I have tried your suggestions, but to no avail.

I will keep trying :stirthepo and see what happens. I'm probably not doing something quite right. :confused:
