Hey folks! I'm getting close to releasing my first BAT, and the Lot Editor is causing me some problems, especially with the interaction of props and the building itself. As you can see: (problem areas denoted by yellow arrows)

At first I thought it might be because the building itself wasn't on the ground plane, but fudging around with the BAT before exporting didn't seem to have any effect. Now I'm wondering if it's simply because the lot editor does a poor job of figuring out where the planes are that the exported images are projected onto the LODs.
Is there any way to tidy this up?
The only way to avoid that is to move the props until they move away from the LOD box.
Well, crap. That's what I was afraid of.
Thanks for the help BarbyW!
