importing new mesh in to a new LOD wipes existing mesh and LODs

[olli_ 13]

so yeah im trying to import new LODs from FBX in to my existing .p3d, but whenever i import the new mesh it removes all the existing mesh in that LOD and all the other LODs.

quite confused :(

Yea it's a pain, basically you'll want to start up another instance of Object Builder and import into that one, select the mesh, ctrl + C to copy and the ctrl + V to paste it into whichever lod on the actual P3D you want to use.

lol damn... these tools are really sadistic :P

thanks for the help though, doesnt sound like too much of a hassle

Or you can use OBJ import which does not overwrite the whole thing.

the obj import doesnt allow rescaling on import though.. and i need that

Obj is useless for Object builder, stick to either 3DS or FBX.
