face me models

[hologram]

Is there a way to have face me component trees using MCX from sketchup models?

For FS9, yes, using model tweaker.

For FSX, the transparency is too problematic to use these models. So, in that case, No.

I cant seem to get MDL Tweaker to read the texture bgl even after setting my path.C:\Documents and Settings\jerry\Desktop\texture and I tried both path options a and r.All I get is this that suppose to be a tree that does work in my fs well but trying to make it a face me object.

Even without seeing the texture you could just apply the tweak and save a new mdl file.

Yes I tried that then I would use sbuilder to place the bgl but still didn't face me.

So with MDL Tweaker you changed the MDL file and than with that new MDL file you updated the library BGL?

I create a mdl file from my dae file on my desk top,then i load the mdl into mdl tweaker and chose rotate to user,apply to object,then i put the mdl into LibraryCreatorXML,create a bgl into a model folder on my desk top with a xml,create sbuilder object list code for the model picture and i add the code also to my list in sbuilder tools object models text file and i take the new bgl created from LibraryCreatorXML and put it into my Addon Scenery project scenery file,then i place the object with s builder.Its there but it wont face me still.

Let me check, I think a problem has been reported before. Mdl tweaker was designed to work with gmax made mdl files, but the ones modelconverterx make have a slightly different structure. So it might be they don't work, I'll double check that.

Hi,

ModelconverterX fs9 mdl's from collada files work in mdl Tweaker as well. And rotate to user then works as well.
Only thing is that it is sometimes difficult to find the correct rotation.

Unlike Roby, I could never get MDL files created by MCX to work in MDLTweaker. I tried and I tried...
