aaron886 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Try this: Close Material Editor, CTRL+A to Select All meshes, Then Click Make Cool, Then Open Material Editor. "Make Cool" has nothing to do with parts/meshes. It changes the material currently selected. Every material in the scene needs to have "Make Cool" applied to give the material ED's custom properties, otherwise it will not export. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
