Attachtool objects won`t export from Gmax

[Guest detector]

Right now I have to make obstruction lights for my bridges per XML files, bglcomp and lots of trial and error to get the right position.This is because I can`t get Attachtool to work right from Gmax. I have followed the tutorial, and can attach a fx effect to this "box" that are supposed to be stripped away when I export, but everytime I try to export, I get the error shown on the pic. All my other Gmax models exports just fine, and I got MSXML 4, and all the FS9 SDK`s installed.Another question: The tutorial does NOT tell if I should attach my "effectbox" to my model before exporting, or export the effect only. Any ideas?

Hi Andrew,Normally you only get this error when you are exporting a scene that only contains attached objects. You need to export some normal (visual) parts as well. So if you export you total bridge (with the attached effects) I think it should work.

Hi Arno,I had to take a break with the attachtool and just use XML in order to upload my scenery. No luck with exporting yet, I`ve tried to export a visual model plus the attached effect all the time...but still get the crash on export. Could it be because Gmax uses a different header for the attched effect than my "manual" XML files?
