Constructor smoothing issues

Hey
i searched the forums for this but i couldnt find anything
i have this little problem with constructor
sometimes when making maps, the smoothing of my objects goos away or is wrong..
is there anyway to adjust smoohting??
i build this oil tank but as you can see the smoothing is wrong
also, when i replace this oiltank with a static DTS that is smoothed correctly
will collision be automaticly added or does the collision comes with the collision meshes in the DTS itself?

Might be better to post in the Constructor forums...

Constructor uses the collision meshes from the static meshes (and yes, they do have to be convex).

You can use $pref::Constructor::smoothingThreshold to change how much it will smooth. If I recal correctly, 1.0 disables all smoothing while 0.0 will cause it to attempt to smooth everything (looks really odd on a cube). The default is 0.9.Constructor uses the collision meshes from the static meshes (and yes, they do have to be convex).

You can preview the smoothing in Constructor 1.0.

With Constructor 1.0.1 and TGE 1.5.2 (both soon to be released).You can preview the smoothing in Constructor 1.0.
