Re: floating License needing port changed

Hi Josh and welcome to the forum. I believe that the issues you are facing are because you have a license structure mismatch between the license server and CDS. So, my suggestions is that you make sure to install the latest version of CDS (v20.2.4) and the latest version of the license server (v14)....

Re: Extra Wheel Rotates on the Z Axis

Yes, in the configuration for the ExtraWheel you are able enable the "Fixate Wheel" which disables it from turning i the movement direction.

When making the datasmith export make sure that you are exporting the active time frame and that the craft dummy meshes are visible so they are included in the export.

Re: Use animated car in Unreal Engine 4

FIXED IT! I long suspected that the issue with the wheels had something to do with pivot point, and it appears that was the case. I don't know what's happening under the hood - but when I baked the pivot point, the issue was resolved. Whether a single geometry or in a group, I have imported the car...
