Night and day windows not appearing in model.

Hello all, I was told how to make a set of working night and day windows for my buildings and I followed the instructions and made day windows, grouped into a group and the folder in the hierarchy named fx_day. I then made a set of night windows to appear as lit in a night scenerio I then grouped them and named there group folder fx_night in the hiarchy.

I then exported it out of 3D Crafter Pro.

When I filled out the blueprint for a scenery object and previewed it in the asset editor, the model appears like this with the windows missing. Does anyone know what I could have done wrong. How do you prepare the model for export so the windows are there.

This model will be a replacement model to replace the old Classic U.S Town House 1 and I'll also be adding a new third house to the set for my update of that set to work with Railworks 3.

The groups might be your problem. Ungroup and check the naming again. FWIW, I linked (not grouped) and named mine as follows:

Code: Select all
1_0128_house
    1_0128_windows_day
        2_0256_windows_day
        3_0512_windows_day
        4_1024_windows_day
    1_0128_windows_night
        2_0256_windows_night
        3_0512_windows_night
        4_1024_windows_night
    2_0256_house
    3_0512_house
    4_1024_house
    5_2000_house

Great news, I finally figured out what I had done wrong with the help of Hack and now I have been successful at creating night and day windows for my models.
