Hi....any of you designer geniuses know of a way to import trees into 3ds or Blender.....checked the archive of Objects within the APCD 2001 ....strange file types such as ....map - pv - xyz....and btx and so on....any way these various file type can be converted ...or just plain up imported straight into Max,,,,

There were a couple threads where we discussed this semi-recently, think I found the latest one, I recommend checking mainly from this post and forwards for the most relevant stuff based on your question: https://linkscorner.org/phpBB/viewtopic ... 3035#p3035

Oh found a more recent thread with a lot of good info, from sort of this post and forwards: https://linkscorner.org/phpBB/viewtopic ... 4147#p4147

I should add: Im not sure any of that answers your particular question, not sure if that can be done, but perhaps you might find clues or even answers if checking the threads I linked.

Do you run as administrator? Try reinstalling and running it like that. Also if you want trees from a locked course, you can import them in the APCD object library, plant them on a new plot then open that in extender.

I run it here as an Administrator: "C:\Links Extender V2\LinksExtenderV25.exe". Works fine with Windows 10.
