I was trying to learn the importer and i was going to make a cut-out something simple to start with. I imported it and it cant even get on the main menu without it crashing and exiting. When i run it as adminastrator though i get to the menu and can play but my sets that ive tried to import arent there. All of my other cs sets are but the ones i imported arent. I went to go to delete it from the themed folder but its not there. What would the file be called like Mr.Pandas and then would it be my prefix? Or what i put for the location in the themed folder? Please help because im trying to import this object but i wont be able to see it because the only way i can run rct3 is under adminastrator and when i do i cant find my sets. Any help and thanks in advance.

I think the importer just places it in the wrong place, more people have this problem, then your rct3 directory probably is somewhere else then C:\program files\atari\rct3 (hope I'm right because I have a different directory :p ).
You should search where the importer pastes the files and just cut it and paste it in the real directory ;)

Mine is
C:\programfiles(x86)\atari\rct3

and theres nothing in C:\program files\atari\rct3

Here is a vid on how to fix it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHDy9x-VGWA&feature=channel_page. In your case you would just have to customize it to your directory. Also in try moving the custom scenery folders in there to C:\Program Files (x86)\Atari\Rct3\Style\Themed.

^ Thanks again and it worked my cube is ingame but its no on the ground i have to raise it up so it is all the way up. Half is in the ground and half is above the ground. Not a big problem but could get annoying.

Thats weird. What did you use for your coordinate setting?

Thats your problem then. That will correct it so its above ground. BTW, what version of Sketchup are you using (If you use Sketchup)?

Yep then Right-Handed, Z-up and all your problems should be fixed. Anything Else?

Set position all to "0", set size to "0" and set size in squares to "1"
Mr.Panda

Set position all to "0", set size to "0" and set size in squares to "1"

So in size you dont have to do the dimensions of your object?

Little tip, if you make a SID, and have alot of pieces that is going to have the same setting, save that SID and re use it, saves like 30 seconds, and over 100 pieces thats alot.. If youree not sure what im talking about, its everything set but the text strings.

It's the same with all versions of sketchup :p (well for me)

Set position all to "0", set size to "0" and set size in squares to "1"

Actually I think you should set all the numbers to "1", I don't know why but once I got problems with "0", "1" seems to avoid weird problems :)
