help!! Last month, the code "LoadMesh("building.b3d")" worked just fine. However, this code no longer returns a file handle. How do we fix it?! --HTU

This isn't a Blitz3D bug. If LoadMesh is returning 0, it pretty much means it couldn't find the model to load.

That's what I assumed, but the model does exist in the correct file, and it does contain the needed data.

make sure to test it with a file that works on every machine. Maybe your B3D file isn0t totally perfect. Maybe you have replaced your hardware/driver/compiler version. In some rare cases a B3D file may work on one machine and won't work on another machine. If somthing's wrong with it and it cannot be loaded successfully then blitz will also return zero. EG: A surface with more than 33000 triangles may work on some systems only. (Use a max of signed 16 bit values for tris and verts)

I finally found the problem. Somehow, I got an old version of B3d that couldn't use the file. Even the EntityRadius only took the x_radius#!
