• 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.

I'm getting an error message when attempting to make a ground polygon. I loaded the model file then the settings. Error pops up when convert button is pushed. I'm using 1.4.0.0 r2255 from 3/8/13.

Hi,

Could you send me your object so that I can try to reproduce the problem?
 
Can you PM me an email to send you the model file. I couldn't upload a collada dae file to the forum. Thanks for your help.

Ed
 
I send you a pm.
 
Ok, haven't received it yet, will let you know once I get it.
 
Hi Arno,

Sent again. File to big for online email. Sent from personal email, maybe you will receive soon.

Ed
 
Hi,

How big is the file? And did you zip it to make it smaller?
 
Arno,

The file is 22,000 kb. I tried to zip it but 7zip will only zip and send as email. 7zip zips the file but then gives me an error message that it can't find my default email program. I have tried to set my email program as default but 7zip still does not recognize it. I will work on this today until I get it resolved. I will let you know when I have sent a zipped file.

Ed
 
Hi Ed,

You should be able to just zip it and then attach it manually to your email. 22 mb is indeed a bit big for email. But I expect that the collada file can be compressed quite a bit.
 
Ed, just right click the file, choose Send To, and then choose Compressed File. It might say you must make it the default program, just click OK. Then send the resulting Zip file in your usual email.

Hope this helps,
 
Thank you Tom. Everyday I learn something new. Any day now I should actually be able to actually accomplish something using Lord William of Redmond's finest software.

Ed
 
Arno, I have sent a zipped file. Hopefully you will receive shortly.

Tom, The compressed option was missing from my send to drop down list. It only took two hours of internet research and failed attempts at a fix before I got it solved. Is the bar open now?

Ed
 
Got the file and will take a look. Hopefully this weekend.
 
Hi Arno,

Have you been able to look at this problem yet? I just tried to compile the same model to a Gnd Poly and I got the same error message. If there is anything else that I can provide please let me know. Thanks for your help.

Ed
 
Hi Ed,

To be honest I even forgot if I looked at it or not :). Let me try to find your email back and have another look.
 
Thanks Arno. I still have the zipped dae model and error message. I can email them again if that's easier.

Ed
 
Hi,

Sorry for the delay, I just check the file and I have fixed the crash. If you grab the new release tomorrow it should work.

I think the fix has no negative side effects, but I could not 100% check that, since I had no textures for your model. So if you see anything weird, let me know.
