Your picture is a little small. I imagine you ha a problem with your texture.
1 solution, try to put 90 in angle W
2 solution, in the modifier you have uvw map and try box. Look at this modifier as it a basic of texturing.
Thanks, Girafe, but I'm still in nowhere, I'll try tomorrow and will post some pictures, good night lads, 'cause this modelling is real pain in the a**. ()sad()
Okay, tried to export it, but another problem appeared!?! can you help please,thanks!

Try deleting the LOD's, merging everything into a new scene and attempt again to export.
I found the LODs, however I searched for the scenes, but couldn't find them, so after a little play with the lods, I was on the same spot, where I left it.
Scene is the "file" where you are creating your BAT.
Delete the LODs that you have now. Open a new blank "scene" (file>new>new all>OK) and merge what you did on the old scene into the new one (File>merge>select the old file>open) Now select everything exept TB2CameraHandle and click OK. Try again to export.
Haven't wrote for a long time, but I exported it, it is very small and that is what bothers me. My next church is based on a real model and has proportions: height : 6m, wide: 5m, length: 12m.

There's no image showing in your last post. &mmm
Scale-wise, I usually never pay attention to RL measurments, as scale varies between every type of building in-game (small ones are oversized, large ones are underscaled, W2W have their own universe of rules, etc...). What I do for standalone buidlings like churches is to compare it to a sim by making a .5x.5x2m box and placing next to it, then scale my building to fit the size of the sim. For example, if in the picture of the Church you posted a real person's head reaches de bottom of the window, I scale it so the top of the "sim" box in my scene reaches the same place.
So, again Carlos to the rescue :D Thanks,mate. I hope you can see now the picture. So you advise me to make a box, 5x5x2m that will represent a sim(person?). Thanks again.
Okay, after a long time no work was done, but I finished it today, the only problem is that when it starts to export, gmax wouldn't export my textures, and they are exported as grey colour. What to do, guuys ? ()what()
I remember this happening frequently in gmax. I'm not sure, but I remember correctly, reapplying all the textures should solve the problem.
Then rubbish, I have all my different parts attached to each other. :(
Try this: make a box and apply one after one all the textures you used and see if it solves the problem.
I tried this, then clicked on preview, still had the same gray building and a box in yellow, then I deleted the box, clicked one more time preview and nothing different happened. :(
I had this issue a few times as well. I solved the problem by saving it as a different name, close gmax and open the saved file. I hope that'll work. ;)
Thanks mave, nothing happened though :(
