using blender for exporting

[big_daddy2]

ok so i used blender to export some objects to .obj before and then used modletool, but when i did that it always put the object to the floor and not off the ground, im tryin to use direct .bzw export but when i put my .py files in C:\users\matt\appdata\blender foundation\blender\.blender\scripts\bzflag\ and try to export somthing to .bzw in blender it says "importerror: no module named bzflag" what should i do to fix both of these problems?

That was one heckofa run-on sentence. As for modeltool putting the "object to the floor and not off the ground", that shouldn't be anything to do with modeltool. Was your object actually off the ground plane in blender? You could also just manipulation the position of the mesh in your BZW.

well in the .obj file its right but when i use modeltool it sets it to the floor and the object was off the floor

any ideas?

The modeltool source contains:

Code: Select all

model.pushAboveAxis(eZAxis);

That's probably the source of the problem. Not something I would have added, but
I can certainly understand why the author would have chosen that path (he's kinder
to noobs than am I). An option to disable that feature could be added.
