• 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.

GMax newbie help

Hello, :wave:
I'm a total newbie in Gmax, and I'm trying to create a hangar for FS2004. Now I want to be able to park planes inside this hangar, so it must be hollow inside, and it must have 2 doors (I want to add animated doors later, for now I'm happy with just 2 holes ;))..
I did some leveldesign in the past (in QRadiant) but that was totally different. At this moment, I have 5 boxes (walls and roof), together they represent a big hollow box, see attachment 1 how I did this, I don't know if this is the right way.
Now I want to create two holes in the 'front box' (see attachment 2) where I want to add doors later on. But I have no idea how to do this. I tried already something with vertexes and searched the help of Gmax but no clue yet. In QRadiant, there was a 'CSG Subtract' function which I used, but I don't know a equivalent in Gmax. I know this is really a newbie question, so a link to a good Gmax tutorial would also be really helpful! Thanks in advance!

I think the equivalent in gmax would be boolean operations. See this tutorial from freeflightdesign.com for more info. Most of the tutorials there are for aircraft modelling, but many are just as useful for sceneries too.
