GMax Exporting Errors

[SHV0151]

I was just messing around with a model to try to get used to modeling, when I try to export as a .mdl I get these two errors.
I am very new to AC modeling, so it could be something very simple.



Thanks for any help,

First one:

Go to Customize > Unit Setup > Check Metric > Select Meters in drop-down menu.

Then go to Customize > Preferences > General Tab > Make sure 1 Unit = 1.0 Meters.

You should read Grid = 10m on the bottom-right corner of the viewport after all this.

For the second one:

Make sure you have done the following:

1. If you are using the new hierarchy-export method, then make sure all objects have the X-Form modifier applied > select all > reset scale by going to Hierarchy Tab > and then clicking on Scale at the bottom.

Thanks,
that cleared up the first one, but I dont even know what the new hierarchy-export method is. Again I am very very new to modeling and have never exported before. I am just going File>Export, and saving as a Flightsim Aircraft Object (*.MDL), and I still get the second error

Ah, I see.

Try going to these links. These will direct you to the forums. These links talk about the new export method used in Gmax and what steps are taken.

Please note that you need MDLCommander and Middleman so that you can have full control of the export process. I don't know where to get them. I just hope someone around here might point them out.

Good luck on your projects.

First of all, you will find that the gmax export errors leave a lot to be desired.

Well I cant figure it out, but like I said before, I am new at this, and dont know anything about it. I just downloaded a source file and I messed with some things to get to know what different things do in FS.

Anyway here is the error report:

Okay, great.
