FAQ

How do I insert a tag?

The exporter will create a tag at any transform node with a "treat_as_tag" attribute on it.

So to create a tag called "tag_gun" (for example) you'd create an object to represent the tag. Then grab that object's transform node (it should say "transform" next to the node name in the attribute browser), and create a new string attribute on the node called "treat_as_tag". Set the attribute's value to the name of the tag ("tag_gun" in the example).

Note that it's the transform that gets exported as the tag, and not the actual object attached to it. It's up to you to make sure your object lines up with the transform's axis.

How do I keep some geometry from exporting?

Any geometry that's assigned the default material (lambert1) will be ignored by the exporter. Feel free to add as many guide and reference objects as you like - as long as they're using lambert1 they won't find their way into the resulting MD3 file.
