Floor collision in doorways needs to be jumped over to enter

Hi folks,

I have a number of DTS house models with doorways and I am finding that my floor collision volumes need my player (the default gideon) to jump so he can enter.

If I remove the floor collision volume or lower it then I can enter the doorway easily, however then it is too low and his feet sink below the texture.
It's 0.2 units high however making it thicker/thinner didn't seem to help.
It is laying on flat terrain.

The confusing part is I have a 1 unit high object that my character easily walks over.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I also get the same issue if I use 'visible mesh' as opposed to collision meshes.

Finally I got something that works with Modo
This is how I got collision and level of details
working OK using Modo 401 and its Collada export

Well done Roland - now stick a post in the Artists Section to alert people on how to do it, because that's probably where they'd do a search (though some people do seem to think that the "search function" is hidden site content).
