export to artlantis studio causes AC11 to crash

[Anonymous]

just now learning to use artlantis studio, which is completely new since we never upgraded to Artlantis R from 4.5 and already facing difficulty...it seems I can't export a model I am working on as an .atl file from AC11 without causing AC11 to crash. I assume it's due to some corrupt or too complex part, since I can export a very very simple model.

is there a typical culprit for this that I should look for, while I am attempting to track down the cause, layer by layer?

I can export the same thing as a 3d studio file and open it in artlantis, however the scale seems to be extremely small (?) since the textures act as though they are huge in size. Is this possible or do i need to set the scale somewhere ?

Thanks for your help

This has been discussed quite a bit. Djordje reported problems with zero-height walls - you might look for that. If that doesn't do it, search these forums for similar threads. 😉

I think it was a roof with weird edges/polygons on it.

Is there some reason the artlantis studio thread is locked for moderator investigation ? I can't view it.
