Hi,

I posted a note to the Photogallery, but although I seleected two photos and clicked the attach button, neither seemed to have appeared. Is there a file limit size or am I doing something stupid, please?

Thanks.

Further to the above. Immediately before I posted the above I uploaded, as I believed, the 1/400 small thatched cottage. This too hasn't appeared. Are files queued somewhere before they are added to the site - virus checking or security, maybe? Or should I try uploading again?

Thanks.

Thanks for the uploads!!!
Regarding showing photos, I re-posted the directions for that in the photo gallery.

Then I went and checked the uploaded files and I see all three of your mb4 files there: Country Station, Post Office, and Garage are all there in the "everything else" category. It could be they just took a little time to show up. It is usually instant.

It looks like the thatched cottage didn't make it so I will try again.

Thabks, Shelly.

Hi Shelly,

What I obviously didn't spot was the file size for my tiny building is too large! How do I reduce pixel content or image size in Model Builder, please, as there seems to be no point in uploading anything but am Mb4 file?

Thank you.

native model builder files are not large. Imported images can make a file very large indeed. Especially if the images are 1MB each and you have several... try reducing the size of your imported images in a photo editing program.
