Relax, they all do it.

You'd have to make sure that the Axis on all the components was turned, but it'd solve the problem.It's a pain in the butt that reverse running bug!!Best Regards,

Feb-09-02, 00:57 AM (EST) 3. "RE: Wheels turning the wrong side" LAST EDITED ON Feb-09-02 AT 01:30 AM (EST)There is a tutorial available that covers this called "Model Preparation". It is in the online help, and also at the Amabilis website: http://www.amabilis.com/tutorials/tutorialmstsmodelpreparation.htmThe "NormalizeGroups" plug-in (formerly "NormalizeFrames") will fix it. But, you'll have to re-crease afterwards or the model will look "dark" in MSTS.Richard Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
