Zmodeler 1.07 Instability

I was all set with a fully textured DAF XF and was two seconds from hitting the menu button so I could save when the thing freezes and crashes. To my dismay, I suddenly remembered I hadn't saved since I rearranged the wheels--an hour before. So since that means I have to retexture all over again, I'm a bit ticked at Zmodeler for the moment. Is it always this unstable? Would an earlier version be better?

Could be because that truck is really high poly? For me, operating Zmodeler is almost impossible as after some moments, the framerate drops badly and it takes like 15-30 seconds to respond to anything I do.
So I run it in a small window, covering only about 25% of the screen as doing so makes it run smoother.

That's just Zmodeler, from my experience. It's unstable. It crashes. Always remember to save often. I think there is an option to have it auto save every few minutes.

It worked fine for me at first--up until either the whole thing is textured or I try to save. Before the problem started, I saved it twice by different names for two different wheel configurations. Eversince, its given me trouble galor, and for other models too.

The sad thing is, I know the texture mapping controls for it so much better than zmodeler2, plus it has a lot more filters. I really don't know what to do.

If you are detaching an object and try to unite them into one object it won't work unless you ave and restart

No, that's not what I was doing. That's what I need to do for my warthog, but I haven't gotten zmodeler to stop crashing.

As far as saving my work, that's when it crashes leaving me unable to accomplish anything. And I can't even use an earlier version because they don't have the right filters.

And now, my DAF isn't even appearing anymore. Which is odd cause the Warthog still does.

ETS Models do NOT work in ZM1 by default. Saving will crash.

To fix this, import from ETS, export as Z3D for Zmod 1, Open that Z3D in Zmod 2, and then export as a ZMod 1 Z3D.
