Making a tunnel

I'm looking to create some tunnels but I have ran into some problems with lighting, missing parts, and textures. Here are some pictures of what I have created and export into T3D.
The way I created this tunnel was with the extrude face tool and then used the hollow tool. I need some advice on how to create these tunnels with correct lighting and textures. Thanks

Texturing a cyclinder is a pain ;)

Disable/tweak the HSR options under Export preferences. Sometimes Constructor gets a little carried away with hidden surface removal...Texturing a cyclinder is a pain ;)

okay, I'll try exporting it with it unchecked.

Cool, that seem to do the trick with the missing pieces. By the way, is there a way to change the color of the cursor when its "+"?

Looks like there isn't an option to change those cursor colors -- or at least I didn't see any. My guess is that they are hardcoded somewhere.

That's the usual suspect when faces start going missing, glad that helped. Sometimes you can experiment with different HSR settings (and the Epsilon values) on a scene by scene basis, and the results will be good. For scenes that include spheres, cylinders, and pyramids (or lots of small brushes) I usually leave HSR disabled.Looks like there isn't an option to change those cursor colors -- or at least I didn't see any.

Yea, I didn't see any cursor color options as well. Anyway, thanks for the help.
