Constructor > DIF export error...

by Dan Cooper · in Artist Corner · 06/06/2008 (10:34 pm) · 4 replies

I created a building in Max, cleaned it up based on the convex rules, but I still get an error when I try to export to a DIF file out of Constructor. Here is my error:

Error, > 256 surfaces on interior hull

Constructor then proceeds to crash. I did notice some red lines along some of the geometry when I looked at the wireframe in Constructor.

Any ideas? I am stumped here. Thanks.

Okay...I was able to get rid of all the concave lines in Constructor and all the red lines are gone. I still get the error above when I try to export.

Any help would be great.

Thanks....that explains a lot. One more quick question though....how do you 'set a detail brush' in Constructor exactly? I tried to do this earlier and was unsuccessful. Thanks.

Okay...figured out the setting a detail brush thing. There is a radio button right under the properties window on the left in Constructor. It was really easy.
I also got a successful export to DIF last night. I went back and remodeled my walls, doorways, ceilings, etc. all in individual boxes in Max. This gave me perfect convex shapes in Max - and made exporting in Constructor a breeze.
