MDL Loading

Single Model Import

To import a model browse for the location and press the Import button.
The model will then be placed at position 0/0/0 .
NWmax is capable of importing binary models ( most of NWN's original models are compiled to increase performance) by converting them to ASCII using mdlcomp .

You have several import options that allow you to import a model without it's animations or import it at another position for example.

Browse for a .set file, and the tool will list all the groups in it.
Once you press 'Load Group' , the selected group's models will be loaded.

Designate a source folder where the models you want to import are placed. Then use the file pattern to narrow down the models you want to import. You can use wildcards ( ? and * ) , for example 'dlq01_a0?_*.mdl' .

• By pressing the 'Check Modelcount' button you can check how many models your file pattern would find to import.
• The 'NumCollums' designates how many models are placed in a row before a new one is started
• 'InterTileSpacing' is the distance from each model to the next. As this mostly used for tile importing, the function automatically assumes that your models will be placed with a distance of 1000cm/10m . The value here adds to this distance.
• 'ClearScene' - if this is checked, the current scene will be cleared before importing. Uncheck this if you want to import the models into your scene.
• 'Load Tile Models' will start the import process
