Question about building bogie in Max

The intricacies, or simplicities of 3D modelling are worth understanding. Alongside other forums like Building Rolling Stock, Scenic Item Creation and the other tool specific forums here's another place to ask questions that just don't quite fit the other forums.

Question about building bogie in Max

Post by dogmouse »

Hello,

Im a little confused about naming conventions in regard to multiple objects representing a bogie, using Max.

This is the example image used in the RS docs. of a bogie.

If I build one like this in Max, am I supposed to attach all the objects together as a single object, and then call it something like 1_0128_bo01?
Or do I leave it as a bunch of separate, individually named objects that are then grouped together or linked to the main bogie frame, and then named as above?

Can someone clarify this for me, please?

Additionally, if it is to remain as multiple objects, could you give me an example of how you would name a few of those objects?

I have been reading the docs extensively, and I fully understand the naming convention recommendations, but the tutorials use a single box for a truck, and they dont specify how I am supposed to handle a multi-object truck assembly.

Thanks,
Rich
