Hi,

The problem that I have is, sometimes when I export to Octane from 3DMax I end up with modelling problems within Octane. As you can see from the image below, my windows have been filled back in aswell as the windows themselves going a little wierd.

The only way I can find a way to fix this is to go back into Max and model again, in the exact same way as before and sometimes it then works.... Is this something that I need to be doing in the exporting stage on modelling stage?

Hope you can help?

Check if your normals are pointing the right way.That's the only thing i can think of at the moment.
