Excel Project Export Problems

Postby jlvandem » Sat Jul 19, 2003 2:34 pm

Ok I'm stumped. Every time I go to export our new Excel model to take it for a quick test flight Gmax will stop and 90% and say there is an error exporting. The project currently has 54000 polys. Is that to many? If so I don't know how I'm gonna fix it but we'll figure it out eventually. Thanks.

If you have the Meshsmooth modifier in modifier stack, try reducing the iterations a bit.

I suggest you reduce the polygon count to at least below 50,000 polys.

Ok I'll try the Meshsmooth thing but I don't know how I'm going to reduce the poly count. I've still got add some details to the door and then finish of the landing gear and cut out control surfaces all which will need polys.
