NickGv1 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I've just been working through the 3DS tutorials on this site and have run into a problem. In the 'Surfaces' tutorial under the Create a 3D Landscape section, I've worked through the first few steps: Open the file kf302_01.max Selected Contours meadows Created a Terrain Object I've then tried to create the ShapeMerge object usiung the cookie cutter option. This worked fine until I selected the Wall.02 object at which point the whole terrain disappers. I've moved the terrain so its both above and below the shape objects whilst creating the ShapeMerge and I still get the same issue. Any advice would be gratfully received Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Yes, I've just tried working through that tutorial and have encountered the same problem. I was able to do the walls, wall ends and bdy sundial, but when I started removing the steps, I was only able to take out the top 2 and the bottom 2. When I tried to take out the middle steps, the terrain disappeared. So I hit Ctrl+Z to bring the terrain back and then Converted it to an Editable Mesh and manually deleted the rest of the poly's. You will also find a lot of small leftover poly's that need to be deleted too. So just do a little cleanup work and you will be back in business.
