Apr-05-02, 05:34 PM (EST) "Where are my animated wheels?" I'm building a steam locomotive for MSTS using TSM. I animated the wheels by saying that one set of driving wheels (3 on each side) was Wheels11, Wheels12 and Wheels13. on the other set of wheels on the other side of the engine, I said that they where Wheel21, Wheel22, and Wheel23. I coverted it to MSTS to see if it worked and my driving wheels are missing! The only thing I can see of them are their shadows. This pic below should show you what I mean. Please help.

Well I think the heirachy apply weather you use TSM or 3dcanvas when I create steam locos I create the wheel sets as pairs by using the merge object option I dont know what its called im TSM but your biggest problem is the Drive wheels are named Wheels1 or wheels2, wheels3 not wheels11 or wheels21 this is what you name wheels that are to go into bogies if you merge your wheels as pairs you will only need to go up to 3 0r 4 sets of drive wheels instead of doubling and increasing the amount of animation.recap, wheels1 for drive wheels not wheels11 or 21.hope thats a helpPeter
