Can anyone help me with Importing Mesh Buildings into SL? My builds come out as Phantom.

[SabbaSerenity]

I'm new to building Mesh on Sketch Up and have found it really easy to use.The only down-fall is,I can't Import my builds to SL properly.

I have tried messing around with the settings in LOD and physics,but I can never get the settings right.My houses always come out Phantom and I can never use the stairs.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thank you.

Sabba.

I don't doubt you'll get some answers here Sabba, but you could increase your chances for help by posting this in the Mesh subforum section. :smileyhappy:

SketchUp is easy to use, but the flip side is that it's not anywhere near as good for making efficient mesh models as Blender or any of the expensive 3D programs.  I suspect that if you are making a model with much complexity, you may have occasional problems with its physics or with getting an acceptably low land impact.  You ought to be uploading a separate physics model with your build to get the lowest land impact you can, and then setting your model to type Prim rather than Convex Hull so that the proper parts of the buikld are non-phantom and you can walk up stairs.  As Val says, though, you'll get better technical help on this if you post your question in the Mesh forum.
