In Milkshape when I try and combine 2 meshs with the bone tool I crash out..  I have seen this problemposted elsewhere. If anyone has a fix for this let me know If not would some one Do the bone fixes on this mesh sence I cant with my present problem?:smt120

ok - there is something wrong with your mesh - it appears you may have imported additional bones when adding the 2nd mesh with the heels.

Any attempt I made to even check the assignments resulted in a crash.  I attempted to regroup the shoes and body - it crashed.

If you have your original meshes (body & shoes) then start over from them - export the body_alpha from the bad mesh as an OBJ and import it into the new good mesh - you will need to alter the group comment so Unimesh will retain it - but the assignments for that particular portion of the mesh would be smaller and easy to re-assign than repeating any extensive work.

Will see what I can do that way I was using the Meshing tutorial 3 over at mod the sims to do this..  I use Milkshape Not Unimesh But thanks Thanks

Razamataz - Unimesh plug-ins are listed as a requirement in that tutorial:

You will need:

   SimPE, Milkshape, Unimesh 4.06 (or higher)
Make sure Unimesh is 4.0.6 or above, because it has improved code for reading in second meshes. (don't have them, go do the beginner tutorial!)

The downloadable patterns from this tutorial

Demon432's Tools – both align normals and extended edit. To install them, download both files. You then need to move the two files named msExtendedManualEdit.dll and msAlignNormals.dll to
My Computer/Local Disk/Program Files/Milkshape 3D (whatever version you’re using)

For this tutorial I used Unimesh 4.06, Milkshape 1.7.9, SimPE .58
