I get this, it can be very annouying! I'm currently having the problem on my Class 42 cab!. What I do is export each shape on it's own to see which object is causing the problem! (Some objects will export, some wont!) Once I find the object/objects which has the problem, then I export it to *.3ds and re-import it. This re-set something (I'm really not sure what), but after that it seems to work.

It's not a solution! But it's the only way I've worked out how to do it!

Cheers,
Mike

Hi,

I believe you have tried to export to the IGES (*.IGS) format rather than the Kuju Intermediate Geometry (IGS) format ?

Hope this helps.

Regards

Hi,

Have you used a Kuju shader on all parts of your model ?

Hi,

6 textures is OK - are they all powers of 2 ? eg 256x128, 512x512 etc - can you double check them.

Are you sure that everything is textured ?

Cheers

This is because most probably your *.ace (Texture) files are not in the main loco folder.
