i'm animating an H3 pelican and the animation looks great in 3ds but after i exported them when i place the pelican in sapien, sapien closes and i get this error:

what does it mean by not a valid animation_graph_unit_seat_block? can someone help me?

A seat is not defined in one of the markers that were exported?
Idk...

well that's not very helpful. i'm pretty sure that an actual seat has nothing to do with it but i don't know.

um no. there's no seat block thing or anything related to a seat except for weapon and this vehicle doesn't have a weapon. here's a pic: . what do i do here?

ooooh. any thing else i should know?

EDIT: ok i did that and i also added a weapon and named it "fixed" and now the pelican shows up in sapien but it falls through the level. what do i need to fix? the physics? or the collision model?
