Hi, For what it's worth, number of years ago I saw at SIGGraph (possibly 2006, in Boston) a development from Caligary's trueSpace, a 3D modeler (http://www.caligari.com/), that allowed people to work synchronously and simultaneously yet remotely on models that lived in a shared 3D space, without recurring to any 'baton-passing'. This shared space was called truePlay and though it didn't have A/V/chat for communication, coordination and collaboration, I saw them using it with NetMeeting - http://www.letsgodigital.org/en/news/articles/story_7710.html. Caligari was later bought by Microsoft and then... who knows but at the very least this proves a point, namely that co-working on a same file was and moreover should be today perfectly possible at least so, with the right tools and in an appropriate environment Cheers, . Diego .

Thanks Mac, I have encorporated your roof into my model. It will be much easier to build. I will post a finished model soon. Bob

Glad you got it working

Have you tried exporting your model via FBX to Unity, then using the painting tool to simply add more foliage and trees?

[quote="thomthom"]Thanks for comment Do you have components for team working? quote]

You can make that, will be the same with a cylinder (more easy) Intersection = Right Click / Intersect selected You can use Booltools till V7 or V8 free at Smustard (10 $) (Automatic intersection) On the SU Pro v8 that is automatic If you don't want use a box and draw a square or a circle on the cone take Tools on surface by Fredo 6 [image: Z3RM_cone.png]

If this is the same cutlist plugin cited in the above post by Jeff Hammond then what you need to do is make all your geometry into either a group or component before you run the plugin. My personal preference is to make things into components, I rarely use groups and then only temporarily until it is made into a component. So if you are making a simple rectangular box with an identical top and bottom, sides and front/back you will have 3 components. One component will consist of the top and bottom, the second component will consist of the two sides and the third component will consist of the front and back. For this plugin to work everthing should be either a component or group (ideally a component with an identifying name). If there is geometry that is not one of these the plugin will not give a useful cutlist. I suspect that in your situation, none of your geometry has been made into either a component or group and that is why you are getting the error message. Hopefully this helps. John

That's strange. Happens to me as well sometimes, usually when I somehow get two or more faces on top of each other. Try deleting the face and if another remains, then keep deleting until the face disappears and then hit a single undo to assure there is only a single face. If there is only one face per cube, then I would definitely do as Mike said and group them before applying the texture to isolate all the geometry. You could also try running the Cleanup 2.0 script from Thom Thom and this does a good job of eliminating any unseen model issues.

@penumbradesign said: @Glenn, Brilliant!Thanks for the tip. You are very welcome

Hmm. I'm not on the same model now, and the setting seems to be working fine. I don't know what is different this time.

Hello! i know this is an old thread, but if there any solution for this issue? (when exporting dwg from Rhino and linking it to 3ds max, it works perfect) Thank You

thank you! can't wait to give this a shot tonight!

Ok, just did that. thx

Hi, Here is a quick example of IES light effects with Twilight that I did a year ago... Twilight is easy to use. [image: Re58_414141.jpg]

Sorry, first video was mangled by youtube down to 1 second... I've uploaded a fixed video! This shows the problem I am having... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAh-U6oZnJ4

Hi dsarchs and Wyatt, Thanks a lot for your input. I'll try both methods. EDIT: Sorry, I didn't install it correctly. Works fine now, and I'll test it. Thx.
