[Opensim-users] Blender Export to OpenSim - Arrrgh

[DocSym]

Wade, thanks for pointing me in the right direction for the bounding box -
worked like a charm. :)

I'm still troubled with this weird thing where the walls of my object
appear to be missing when looking from the inside.  It's like having a
hollow open cardboard box that, when you look in from the top, appears to
not have sides, but when looking at it from the outside, looks like a
normal box.  I've checked and my normals are all pointing outward and look
good.. Any other ideas?
