Hi Im not sure where this shapes directory you are talking about is but there is, only available to you a very limited amount of model imports to 3D canvas and they are offered by MSTS in there Samples Directory I think there is about 4 or 5 models there in the 3ds fromat 3D Studio Max, Only the paid versions of 3D Canvas will import them and allow them to be exported back to MSTS as .s files. If you intend to make models its best you go to amabilis http://www.amabilis.com/tutorials.htm#TutorialsMSTS and download there tutorials espesically the user added ones about creating a 4 wheel wagon and animating coupling rods these are the two tutorials I started with and I created the A4s you can download from this site. I hope this is what your after.Peter Harvey Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
