I really don't know, I do not keep track on who uses what.
Wait for him to respond...

what do you think i'm using? TrueSpace 3.2 of course! Everyone except Grimloq has it!

I know some tricks with TrueSpace, but the answer to your question is not among them. :o

Sorry, dude.

you're gonna have to do it manually with booleans. the computer isn't gonna know where you want your object to be divided by. A computer isn't gonna look at a model and say " well, i see two engines and a cockpit, so i'll split them up into those three peices" It'll look at it and just see a bunch of polygons and vertices. you have to cut it up yourself.

BTW, i did a search yesterday, and the search gave me diddly squat.

Try a search at TrueSpace. Look for 'Boolean(s)' and 'Cleaving'. I do not know if TS knows the term cleaving; I learnt that word by JED(Jedi Knight (I) Editor) and it did exactly what I think you want.

Learn to search...

That's for LithUnwrap.  Though I didn't see anything resembling a how-to for separating subobjects.

use the seporate selected part of object tool. not sure if ts3 has that though. i know its selection tools suck, im using ts6 now which has far better selection and uv mapping. definately better than 4. ideally though you want to make your submodels as seprate objects. cutting  them up will only create bad geometry. in some rare cases the decompose into objects tool works too, but it gives you less control over what gets seporated. it is oddly capable of undoing most booleans.

Her, I'd rather give up on 3D than having to use TS.

i can't even figure out 3D and TS, i just use TS for conversions, and blender is very easy to use.

Then cut it up in blender.

At first I felt sorry for him because of his treatment - now I feel sorry for him because society has clearly once again got in the way of Darwin's spirit.
