Zmodeler help

[starcraftguy1 98]

First question that comes to mind is how to import objects into the program, I can't remember. I managed to import an ambulance model.
I'm sure there's going to be more Q's soon.

Object textures or vehicle textures?

I put in a texture, but can't get it on the vehicle.

You need to add whatever textures you want, and then import. You can not import first.

add the veshare and the vehicle taxtures then hit the import and import it. if the vehicle is a z3rd file then you go to file and hit merge, then select all, then merge.

How to grab and rotate objects?

How to grab and rotate objects?

 

Use the quadr tool and hold down right click + drag to select whatever you want, then switch to the move tool to move or the rotate tool to rotate.

 

There are a lot of great tutorials out there to help!

 

Good luck!

Thanks for help   It's easier to ask questions than watching a 30 minute video.

I imported a LED light square. It spawned inside the ambulance model, on what I guess is the axis? What am I doing wrong.   I believe its attached...?

It's not attached, and it spawned in the center of the world because that's how the original modeler saved it for development use.

You need to move it to the exact location that you want to place it by using the Move, Exact Transform, Scale, Rotate, and/or other Modify tools. You can then attach it or deal with it accordingly.

I would suggest watching the 30 minute video, though. Yes, you can still ask for support here, but it's much easier to see similar instances happen in a video. It's definitely a lot more interactive than text explanations.

I'm at the 10:41 mark.

I have trouble selecting and moving the object. I am trying to follow step by step from the video.

I'm adding lights to an ambulance.
