My B.A.T model doesn't appear in lot editor

[ajk1482]

When i create a model larger than 1x1 tile, the rendered file cannot be found in lot editor.
Rendering is fine. whether it's tall or short, model appears fine in LE as long as i keep the size smaller than 1x1
I'm trying to make a 3x3 building but it wouldn't work!
any ideas??

I believe you needto place the model on a lot equal or bigger than 3x3 to have a 3x3 model appear in the list.

Lowkee gives good advice. The lot needs to be bigger than the model. A 3 wide lot is 16meters X 3 = 48 meters but let's say for argument that your model is 48.1 meters wide. In this case the model will not show up in the LE until you enlarge the lot.

Also look at the bounding boxes in gmax. Are they larger than the model? How about the LODs? Are they larger? I've seen cases where a building was 31.5 meters wide but the LOD that gmax did was 32.5 meters wide which by the way is greater than a 2X2 lot. I've had to resize the LODs before. 

Good Luck
