And it did. The Top View window (top left corner) flashes solid white at each mouse click, but I can live with that. Thanks.

Hitting Number 1 clears the white away, but as soon as I click anywhere with the mouse, it comes back. WINDOWS+D goes to the Desktop, then comes back clear, but as soon as I click, the white pops...

Thanks for the link. My problem (seen below) is that the G-Max windows are mostly whited out. (a recent development) I had hoped that an "uninstall/re-install" would cure that, but it didn't. Any...

I've been poking around here, and on TurboSquid, looking for a downloadable copy of G-Max. Don't know why, but it's hard to find. Could someone please post a link?

Thank you much, HairySpin. (was it always just that simple?) I found a previous thread of mine covering the same ground (it was kinda embarrassing) and I didn't quite get it. Here's a pic showing...

I thought I finally had a handle on this 'scaling business', but I guess not. I've gone to the 'Customize' menu, selected 'Customize Units', set it to 1 Unit= 1 meter. Does this not mean that 1 box...

What a disappointment! I had hoped that I could save myself some effort and avoid some mapping, which I find tedious. Well, there's nothing for it; just gonna have to knuckle down and read the...

It seems the current weirdness has an added dimension that I did not explain fully. Or fully enough. On the Caudron model, all cloth-covered surfaces were assigned a canvas/tan color in the G-Max...

I'm building a WWI French Caudron G.III. As I go, I apply colors from the G-Max palette which are close to the original, so that at the end, all I need do is apply rondels to the wings and a number...

IT WORKED! 'Back in business. Thanks, Milton.

Just tried both and neither worked. I'm beginning to suspect that I need to install a fresh copy of G-Max. Can it still be downloaded here at SimOH?

Something's not right. If I click on Item#1 of the flyout Menu, Items 1 & 2 get selected. If I click on #3, Items 2 & 3 are selected. No matter which are selected, the Tool Bars are still missing.

'Launched G-Max today and all my toolbars at the top and right side are gone. I poked about in "Customize Interface" but nothing helped. Any ideas?...

Thanks, Allen. That did it.

Also, I kept a copy of the fine black lines (seams and inspection panels) on a separate layer in Photoshop. If I use that as a bump map will it automatically conform to...

I made a texture for a planes wing, but it came out horribly pixelated. (I had done a screen cap. and taken it into Photoshop and built the texture over it.) I figured I needed a higher .dpi, so I...

Today I re-opened the doc. and went to Grid and Snap Settings>Home Grid. Unexpectedly, it had not re-set itself to 10m, but was still at 1. May I now assume that one grid square equals 1 meter?

OK, I checked "Unit Setup". It was set to 'Metric' and I have re-set it to 'Generic'. However; in the Generic Window, it says 'FL = 660'. It has always said this and I suspect this is not what I...

I checked Preferences and 'System Unit Scale" is set to 1 Unit = 1.0 Meters. What is '1 Unit' if not 1 Grid Square?

Thanks, Hairyspin. It looks like I've gotten past the scaling problem. First, I moved on to a different model. (I'm convinced there's something hinky with the French House model and it may be easier...

Thanks, Tom. At least I know where I stand, even tho' the news is bad. It then begs the question:'Where did I go wrong?' Was the 'Select By Name' button the wrong place to go to find the shape and...

Could someone check this file out for me?

That seems to have done it! I opened the Hierarchy Tool Bar on the far right. Then using what I think is the Hierarchy button on the top tool bar (over the modeling windows)...the icon with a 'list'...

How very odd. I've never had to do this before. The name of the document being exported always appears.

However; I typed the name in and tried to export to the desktop. And got the error message...

Thanks Tom, that worked just fine. I went to 'Export' and there was 'CFS3 .m3d' right at the top of the list. Problem is, now the file name will not appear. Is there a way to shake it loose?

To begin with, it would appear as though I don't have the CFS3 Plug-in in the Plug-ins folder. I do have a CFS3 folder in Gamepacks and it has a folder inside it labeled Plug-ins. Is that the Plug-in...
