FSDS Question (Read 634 times)

I am progressing quite well with my first scenery object project but one thing is causing me a problem.
I get so far then add another part and when I test it in FS the whole object just seems to separate randomly.
I can post images if required but as I am new to this there is probably a simple solution....I hope Roll Eyes

Thanks

I am posting some images to explain my problem.

My project so far.

As it appears in FS

I add a base to the unit.

As it now appears in FS.

I am using FSDS V3 and FS9

Any solution would be much appreciated Sad

Am by no means a guru but having used FSDS for awhile, one way around this sort of thing that has worked for me would be to combine all your parts into one object once everything's been textured (presuming there are no animations involved, and also presuming a backup of the original is made before proceeding). First, select all parts, then choose Part-Join Selected, and then compile the object. It looks very nice BTW.

Many thanks for your reply

I have added the base and joined the selected as you suggested.

I will have animation, because the lights when completed will be alternating flashing. I will have to experiment by adding the lights to the model but not joining them, if this will work Roll Eyes

.

Thanks again for your help so far, as this is my first project, maybe you would be willing to try it out for me when/if if gets completed.

I think it centered all the pivots at the same place, thus making the object go crazy. Glad you got it solved! Looks great sofar!
