Did you use "mirror" function in 3d max? Sometimes other programs mirror wrong axis's in 3ds model, or even mirrored elemets might disapear. Sometimes in the past that thing happened to my models.

Blarkman11: hopefully someone will be able to help.

When creating new threads please give them good titles. What the? help! is not very helpful: the site's search engine (and we users) don't know EXACTLY what you need help with.

Always try to make thread title as specific as possible. Thanks.

First,
the model is all primitive shapes.

Second,
Why oh WHY do you export it to milkshape, if you are using 3dsmax?

Third,
those pictures will not help at all, post the files so people can actually look at them.

and no i didnt

quick question which version of max are you using?

Quick finds, no need for camera and why are you making an assembly?

More finds, it worked when i connected all the sides and converted everything to an editable mesh.



FIXED THE FILE.

Check my previous post.
why did you make the sides out of 3 cubes? wouldn't it have been easier to extrude the side or even just scale it to the size you wanted.
