Are you saying that you have translated and rotated your buildings in GMax already? It is better to do this during export. Each object can best be placed that the 0,0 coordinates in GMax and then placed on the lat/lon of the object with the rotation you want.I don't know if you have more then one building in your scene? In general that is not a good things to do and I can very well image that MakeMDL is not able to generate the crash code correctly in that case.

Are you still using the Fs2002 gamepack? In that case you could use FsRegen to collect all your objects into a library. Then you have only two files in the end, your library and the file placing the objects at the required coordinates.From performance point of view, it is also better if you export all your objects around the centered around the 0,0 poit in GMax. In that case the v2 value of the RefPoint can be optimal, which is best for your framerates.
