    Does anyone know how to do the inset thing in Milkshape? I can't seem to find such an option.

    Edit: I tried to do it using the extrude option, like Jonesi describes here. But I can't select the outer two triangles (see pic).



    Edit again: I gave up for the moment and downloaded Wings.

    Here's my table top.





    I would still apreciate it if anyone could explain how to do the inset/intrude thing in Milkshape though.

    Petra I think your middle piece is slightly lower than it should be, highlight it, use scale uniform and shrink the size just a tad.

    Eva, your's looks good. As far as MS...did you try moving the center piece down/up so that is is not in the center of the wood piece then select the vertices and move it back?

    Eh ... I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean the piece that I have selected in my picture?

    The middle piece, the one that is not the wood edge. Did you try selecting that piece move it out of the wood edge to resize it, then move it back into place? I'm just guessing here based on my very limited knowledge with Milkshape. Oh wait, you extruded, then that wouldn't work...perhaps make two separate pieces and move the insert into place? You have to extrude the wood edge though correct? In order to get it? I don't know how to make that area completely clear...if you extrude if down far enough you could just leave it I suppose, as long as you can insert the middle piece.

    Thanks for your help Tami, I figured out the selection issue. I had to untick 'select by vertex' when selecting the faces, and then first select the faces that wouldn't select before, by clicking on them, and then select the rest. After that I could extrude it, move it down and fit in the rescaled duplicate.

    Here's my Milkshape version of the table top:



    This is awesome really, I already learned so much today. I didn't even know what extrude was before.

    Thank you Doris!

    I figured I had to scale it along the Z axis because I had scaled on the X axis, so the "scale uniform" wasn't working as it should, I was having a gap... Now I could move up to align properly.


    I'm still having problems with the mouse/camera though, sometimes it's very hard to frame the image.
    Oh! And the bounding box disappeared... I hope we don't need it anymore.

    Julia you will require the bounding box, it's easily done to add it back in. Open your saved table top file by importing, then import the original file you exported from SimPe. Highlight the imported Maxis table, save the bounding box, delete the Maxis table. Make sure that your table top is not selected or you will add a bounding box to your table top or delete it. Once done, just export the file and overwrite your table top file.

    As for the camera, I had the same thing when I first started - it was all over the place, or I couldn't line it up the way I wanted. All I can say is that with practice you'll soon have it under control.

    BTW it looks great!
