Am I correct in thinking Model view has a limit on the number of faces it can load?

about 3000? or something?

Straight from the History.txt file that comes with MV32  

 

V1.0 Beta 04b Build 26 - Released 06/10/2001  Bugfix service release
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Added a texture name editor (under editor pane "Model"). With this you can
  reassign polygons to a different texture. Note that this will replace it for
  ALL polygons using the old texture. So you can not assign a new texture to a
  single polygon. It however removes the need of using FSMM or a hex editor
  if you want to create a duplicate of an existing FreeSpace model however
  with custom textures. As soon as you exit the texture name editor, MODELVIEW
  will reload all textures and so directly show you the new texture WYSIWYG
  (provided that it is able to find the new texture).
- Added error handling for Descent 2 models (see under Build 18 for details of
  this).
- Changed so that a FreeSpace model can now have a max of 5000 polygons
  (was 4000). (Derek "Kazan" Meek)
- Fixed a big bug that can crash your model when converting a model to
  FreeSpace 1 or backwards that has thrusters. Properties of a thruster now
  get lost when converting to FS1, since FS1 does not support thruster
  properties. (Ken "Edrick" Hilton)
- Fixed wrong error message 6010 (Too many points in polygon (>20)) being
  displayed coming when actually the polygon limit has been reached.
  (Derek "Kazan" Meek)
- Fixed a possible crash when having models with texture names having exactly
  30 characters.
- Fixed one of the "Tip of the day" texts.
- Fixed FS texture loading not stopping anymore after one texture is too big.
- Fixed "Details" dialog available when no model is loaded.
- Implemented "Used" count of a texture in Details dialog in FreeSpace 1/2
  mode. Please note that the listed amount of polygons using the specific
  textures includes ALL detail modes the texture is used, not just the
  currently active one.
- Fixed CTRL+Down not working as expected.
- MODELVIEW can now fix a problem in a POF file that seems to be caused by
  a bug in the tool "Segeltuch" by Frank Krueger, where the OHDR/HDR2 data
  chunk misses the lights information. (Jonathan Pedrosa)
- Lots of internal "tidy up"-work on the source code...

Hummm... took me 10 mins to find the bit about polys...

My model is (total) 3200 polys and I get that 6010 error message. but if its 5000 - that carn't be right...

The reson I though it was 3000 is becasue I get the message with the model in full, but when I delete a part (first the mainhull) it worked, then deleting a LOD (main hull still there) it worked.
What causes that - I want to play with my new destroyer!  
Any ideas?

Do you have the version of MV32 that is discussed in the posted history file??

[Bobboau]

don't wory about it, it will work fine in FS

------------------
Bobboau, bringing you products that work.............. in theory

[LAW ENFORCER]

I do turrets and stuff in it. I know it works in TS (I try it in FRED and then FS2 to get size right first)

I do have the same version.

AND i solved it - I lovered the polys from 3200 to 2970 and it works in MV32... (LOD1 was massive (basicly the main hull) now its just medium)

It could have been a problem with number of subobjects (it has like 78)... but I don't it since its still the same number... only thing I changed was polys...

Anyway thnaks for all your help...
