    I don't know.. Maybe you could find proper red roof texture, I would export red roof versions too. Currently don't have much time browsing for textures. Or use that version I quickly made....

    Hello again to everyone! Now i'm working on factories 19th century and have this problem:
    error.jpg


    This is what i did
    error2.jpg
    First i made a 20*20 building, then decided to transform it to 20*40 building, by copying polys from lods of 20*20 building because i am too lazy to make a new building and make again UVW mapping instead of using finished polys. The Lod 3 is fine, while a lod 2 has above shown error in the viewer. And it doesnt seem that is about normales. Does anybody know what could be a reason of this problem?
    P.S. the roof that is visible in viewer copied from transformed 20*40 lod3, while the unvisible polis are copied from lod2 of firs made 20*20 building, maybe that is a key to find a solution to fix this problem

    for some weird reason you cannot copy objects to other lods.. renaming and everything else does not solve invisibility.. had a lot of trouble with europost redit by doing this..
    do the following:
    - select lod1 or 3 of your old building (depends on which way you prefer)
    - copy facades and all objects you need to your new buildings same lod.
    - now do the other lods out of your new buildings first or third lod.
    - dont forget to check results regulary in cxl viewer.. you dont want to do everything just to notice everything is messed up in the end :LOL:

    must be an hidden information about lod-naming somewhere inside 3ds max files.. (thinking about that, maybe it helps to choose another file ending (like fbx)..) but actually thats just wild guessing

    Found solution of this problem. It is need to obtain a texture from a material ball of the same lod to copied element from other lod and that element became visible.

    You guys amaze me, I don't think most of us truly understand the amount of time you guys spend or the frustration figuring out these little bugs.
    Thanks for all the hard work
