You exported a file with a name XXX than you changed it to YYY. LevelEdit will load the file as XXX but you renamed it to YYY so it won't work.

If you want the name YYY you have to export it with the name YYY. If you want XXX, export it as XXX but DON'T RENAME IT.

It happens in one of two ways, you renamed a w3d file or you have meshes in your max file whose names are longer than 15 characters and the first 15 match.

Don't ever rename a w3d file because there are names embedded inside the file that are assumed to match the name of the file.

actually greg, there is a tool available to rename w3d files, but as you said, it is not quite as simple as just renamin the w3d file from windows explorer...

you need a tool such as http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/rentools/w3dtool.zip?download from jonathan wilson to rename the w3d.

Special note... only ADVANCED users should attempt this, as if you don't you will most likely mess it up.

Laser, if the first 15 characters match, then you're going to get a name collision because the rest of the characters are ignored.

Oh yeah, good job to Jonathan on the renaming tool Smile
