Hi there guys, ive not been using the craft director studio plug-in long on 3ds max, but im trying to create a light tank animation for my college assignment, ive managed to rig the crawler extended to my model by adding 8 extra wheels for my 8 wheeler armored car, but it seems when i try to animate over raised surfaces the wheels tend to go throught the body of the tank, if anyone doesn't understand what i mean i could screenshot it or even upload a quick youtube video to show you whats happening. thanks!

One way to do this better is to make the Crawlers wheels extremely large, the wheels will then cover most of the body and not have the ground go up in the center of the tank. Then use extrawheel to cover all the wheels of the tank.

If the tracks "jumps" trough the tank body just make sure you put a lot of support wheels to prevent the tracks from going trough.
