I can't find the file it exports. Can it also make rigidbody imposters? How much for adding snapping functionality (building a block rb level quickly)?

Sorry Daniel I forgot to mention that. It creates a folder in the 3drad folder called Imposter_Plotter. in there you will find the exported script.txt that you can copy to an empty script in your project and you just plug your master skinmesh into and it will do the rest.
it can only do skinmeshes, as that's all we have to work with as far as imposters go in Rad but you could use the information to plot the body locations orientations from the script would be one workaround.
as for snapping/building functionality, it would probably be best to write a new plotter for that sort of thing but would be a fair bit of work that at the moment I'm spread pretty thin, as I need a tool I'll write one and put it up, but at the moment I'm not sure I'd be able to do it justice.But saying that if you leave a description of what you are wanting to achieve I'll give it some thought and see how much time it would take. but remember even if I exported rigid bodies they would still have to be loaded in individually at the moment and all plugged into the script manually so probably best to wait until we get an rigidbody imposter object.

What about the EventOnLocation object? Can we not make run-time instances of these at the location of the imposters? At least we can then detect collisions and do something!!!!
Edit: Look, this will help solve the problem (at least partly anyway) once it's available -

@leon, no problem
@ulogix,yes you could use the imposters location and orientation to plot the location for anything really but you'll have to mod the data yourself at the moment, but when I get some free time I might add a secondary exporter for useing the skinmehs imposter locations/orientations to generate a body place ment script with the same data, but I have committed to not doing any more projects until I get all my animations done for my game then I might reconsider it but can't promise anything just yet.

K, I found it.
Wow, I forgot how nice this tool was.. and it still works flawlessly in the new 3DRad.
Cool, well enjoy.
