Hey guys,

I'm asking you for help with a problem I recently had.
I wanted to start a new map and I chose to use the "UltimateTerrainmap" as a basis (downloaded it here at the Hive). There are very nice models for trees already importet, but these are all doodads, so I decided to change the model of a destructible tree to an imported tree model but this didn't work! Editor says that this model couldn't be loaded.
I really don't have any idea what could have gone wrong; when I set a doodad with this imported model it works but as soon as I choose this model for a destructible it doesn't work.

I'm thankful for any kind of help or advice!

Thank you, that was one part of the problem! After I had changed this I was able to see the model in the editor at least but not ingame. So then after a bit of thinking and trying I set "Graphic - Model Data - has simple model" to false and then I could see it ingame so everything is fine.
But just to understand this, what does this mean - what is a simple model?
