    • Well, I switched to a simpler model WITHOUT collision and I'm getting the effect I wanted. Still, it'd be nice to know in case I try to import an object with collision in the future.

    • OK, I give up and have to ask for help. I made a staircase with collision. I can import the staircase. I can import the collision. When i try to import the combined file (copied and pasted and definitely still with the "UCX_") Muvizu tells me the oject is too large and to try another location, like it thinks something is already there. Any suggestions?

    • If you are still able to see the collision then you did one of two things: 1. Exported the whole model at one go, rather than separating the model and collision. or 2. The collision volume in the .ASE file is missing the UCX_ that goes before it. You can make the collision pretty complex, but you need to make sure that it's broken up into cubes - you can't have any 5+ sided shapes.

    • can you add multiple collisions say for a room or like a kitchen with tables and cabinets etc...?

    • I fillowed your tutorial but I used a simple boat from the warehouse. Now when I imported it into muvizu I could stilll see the collision
