Title: Problem with the size of a BAT 1x1 [Problem resolved]

Hello everybody !

I have a problem in LotEditor because of a BAT. I would like this building to go on a tile. Look at picture:

I have already tried to center the BAT in gmax, but it's always do that. Thank you in advance for your help.

Sorry for my bad in english, I have used an online translation.

The LODs are much too big. Try to refit the LODs or create custom LODs. It's important to have every part of the model under the LOD, but if the LOD is too big, you get problems like this.
BTW, don't worry about your english, you're doing fine :thumbsup:

If you have hard time to speak/understand english, I suggest this board (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?board=129.0), which is made for French people.

Anyway, you can customize your LODs simply by going to BAT tools-section and then re-lift the LODs from parametres.

Actually this is not what I was talking about. "Custom" LODs can be created using simple meshes. Just form, deform, whatever the meshes. Then copy twice and rename your 3 new meshes: LOD3, LOD4, LOD5
!BUT!: At this time, don't even think about creating custom LODs. The house is basicly a very simple shape. You're doing better when you simply choose "refit LODs" as Bengt said.
