How to manage large projects using livesync (3dsmax))

I’ve been working on projects where I need to model small-medium-large size urban or rural areas: buildings (walls, roof, windows), roads (curbs, paths, etc). The only way to differentiate all those parts is through materials in 3dsmax? The process seems very slow.

In my case, I can’t export and perhaps use the hierarchy as a method. I use LiveSync due to the constant number of changes in the project, and in that case, I only see the possibility of applying different materials in 3dsmax.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi @torres-andres

Currently, the export with group hierarchy is only available for the d5a export, and the Livesync option does not have this feature yet, perhaps in future releases.

  • D5 reads surfaces based on what was assigned to them in your 3d Modeling software, so they must be differentiated by assigning different materials/colours before bringing the model to D5.
