• 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.

Merge Objects

Where is the tool bar button for this located and just how do we use it?



I have added a new function to ModelConverterX, you can now merge objects. After you bring up the form there are a couple of things you can do:
  • You can specify the LOD that should be used for the model you are importing. So this allows you to import another model as a lower level of detail. Or if you give the same LOD as your current object they will be combined.
  • You can specify an offset compared to the current model, so that you can put object besides each other.
  • With the load object button you can load another object from file to be inserted.
  • Alternatively you can also use the list of objects given. This list will show all other objects that are currently loaded into ModelConverterX. So for example if you have loaded a library, all the other models will be shown.
Once you have set all options the way you want, you can press merge to start the merging of the objects.
 
Didn't I post all informationin the other thread already? You need the latest development release, not version 1.3. Each button has a tooltip, so just hover over it to see what they do. It's the button with the merging arrows you need.

The blog post you quote provides the information on how to use it. Please just try it yourself instead of asking the sane question again.
 
Sorry, I haven;t seen the latest development version. Thought 1.3 was the latest. Where then is the latest located?
 
Here is all I found:

Latest version

The latest stable release of ModelConverterX is version 1.3. Click here to download this version. The development release has all the latest features, to check them out use the development releases package. If you want an older release of the tool, have a look in the archive.
 
hmm...
:scratchch
Just seems like it might have been easier to try all the links before typing out a post...
