[HELP] I cannot render chain - MLCad + LSync in a submodel

[Mestari]

Hi, I cannot render a chain in a submodel in MLCad. I can do it on example files from tutorial page - those run ok, but when I use the same commands in a subassembly, after running LSynth, I am shown the main model, I need to select the submodel again and then find that my two 16tooth gears are gone, LSynth has not run and the LSynth commands are still there.

Do you know how to fix that?

I think you are using the new style 16 tooth gear (reinforced) which is not supported with LSynth,you will need to use the 4019.dat gear then swap it to 94945.dat after you have ran LSynth.

You, sir, are a genius :)

Yes, I was using the new style one. It all went great with the old style one. THANK YOU!
