Hi

I try to build my own TR level and I have a lot of problems with the "TRtools"

First : I've got the new versions of RVIEW, TREDITOR, FEXITEM, etc (downloaded 08/12/00)

MY problems are :

With TReditor :

How to define properly portals between rooms ? especially when you want to design a pool ?
It's a great mystery to me.
I've downloaded the 'Wade' package. When I rebuilt the level (based on TR3's House) everything is OK.
When I play the level, the water surface is CLEAR.

After that I try to design (with TRE) a small level with the same 2 rooms. (Everything seems to be ok in the room editor) . I built the level and SHIIIIT when I play, the pool is a pool (well) BUT the water surface is not clear. In fact it has the same texture as the floor of the first room.

So what's wrong ?

With FEXITEM :

This tool generates itm files that TRE can't read (I get an "Read beyond end of file" error).
(the fenician.itm included in the update3 package is in this case)

With RVIEW :

I can export in dxf format that I read with RHINO3D 1.1 but I simply can not import dxf format .
A simple test is to export a one room level as DXF and try to reimport it immediately : it does not work at all.

(the 2 dxf files included in the wade package are in this case)

Thank you in advance for your help
