in the making a base using g max tutorial by the guru during the part where i have to create roof
it wont let me select the little blue points i tried the ignore back facing button but it didn't work

to create polygons for your roof make sure to click on create,polygon.

thanks i made the base model but now it says i need to get the next tutorial for this model im making

i take it you mean to attach your base to the ground of your map?
if so then heres a link for vid to do that

also you can make your base into a scenery tag and place it in your map with sapien.

OK but when i put it in the map it was not solid
and when you get to close to it it disappears same thing for in game.

if it's a scenery tag you need to create a collision model and for the disappearing you need to change the bounding radius i normally use 5 but thats probably too high.

i cant remember if that tutorial shows you how to make the scenery tag for you base,
heres a link to a tut that shows how to make the scenery tag...

it's been a few weeks since i looked at this post but answering incase your still loking for an answer, i've never had to add more than 10 on the bounding radius so i don't know.you should start from 1 and increase it by 1 if need be.
