    Is this possible or did you solve this by converting to a 3D Model/DTS?

    It is not possible at this point, as far as I know. I found a relatively recent post from May or so, where this was stated. :-\

    This means as a Torque X user you can't use Torque Constructor. :-(
    However, it seems to be possible to load DTS models as static geometry.
    So converting the DIF into a DTS model would be a work around. Do you know a tool that converts DIF directly into DTS?

    My best guess here would be converting a "3D World Editor" scene into DirectX format and from DirectX to DTS, then importing it at static geometry.

    I've been looking around but can't seem to find it. At one point I found a piece of software that would take a .map file and create a blender model out of it, but it may be you can only go the other way. I'll have to research it some more.

    Use constructor to save as a LWO, I'm sure you can find a LWO to what ever converter, then into Max, or unless you use light-wave then you'd be all set but that how I do it anyway. Constuctor--->LWO--->Lightwave---->3DsMax, and sometimes back to constructor VIA the Max to Constructor tool in the resources place on this site.
