But you made a little mistake: when saving a dfx you have to click on "trieangel have 4 points" If you click on this it'll work (so it was on my pc) FIPS K. IP: Logged
Turbo Pascal Member Posts: 75 From: Registered: Dec 2000 | posted 09-13-2001 09:52 AM >Rough numbers: >Input these numbers into the multiply input box. >0.0097 - about the size of a gun or key >0.0500 - about the size of the motorbike >0.1000 - Large (about six laras standing on their shoulders) >1.0000 - Mammoth (far too large to even tell what the objects are) I want to make some clear about how is used the "Multiply> box and "X" digit box. When you open/save a DXf, metasequiola automaticaly multiply all values in the model by the values especified in those boxs. for keep the original Model size when you save the dxf then do this: when you open the DXF: - In "MULTYPLY" put "1" - In "x" digit put "2" - Click the "Swap YZ" button, - Check the "Invert Face" when you save the dxf - In "MULTYPLY" put "0.01" - In "x" digit put "0" - Click the "Swap YZ" button, - Check "Triangle have four points" option This way when you open the dxf in strpix you will see that original size is keeped.

Raider of Tombs Member Posts: 600 From: The mining ship Red Dwarf Registered: Dec 2000 | posted 09-13-2001 12:54 PM Usmsci - The Abandoned Tomb Raider Library is just that - abandoned. It has not been updated until now when I uploaded the tutorial. The rest of the site is from pre-strpix3 days, when all we had was strpix1, and so there were limits on what outfits could be, unlike now. Strpix3 now allocates each face its own texture, so the coastal outfit can be done. ------------------ Visit the Abandoned Tomb Raider Library, at http://TRLibrary.tripod.com or e-mail me at joeverdi@excite.com "What is real?" - Morpheus, 2199 IP: Logged
