Maya - Using revolved surfaces in the model editor

Hey guys,

Earlier I was having some trouble with a model I made being cut off in the model editor/level editors. I have now realized that it only seems to do this with revolved surfaces made in Maya. I am not sure if I just have the wrong settings when I use Revolve the surface, or if there is just an incompatibility with revolved surfaces for some reason. Has anyone expierenced this issue and/or found a fix for this?

When I use Revolve, I am making sure the output is polygons.

RE: Maya - Using revolved surfaces in the model editor

Yes, you should always delete history before you export. And as you said before, make sure output is poly and not nurbs.

Went back and deleted history, and verified the output was poly. Unfortunately, it still didn't work. Sad

Yes it is.

EDIT: I believe I solved it. I unticked the box called Remove Static Curves when exporting from Maya and it seems to have worked.

RE: Maya - Using revolved surfaces in the model editor

The strange thing is I UNticked that box. It was ticked previously. Seems counter intuitive.
