Sorry about that Adelade, I didn't notice the question. Nope, I'm not using the clone tool. I only use the APCD in the .zip file created by Danny D available here. I do have a separate APCD directory for each course I work on but that is not relevant for this conversation. Are you able to import a 3...

The course pictured in the screen shot was the 2023 beta version. I can tell the difference based on the lighter textures and the shadow artifacts at the base of the 3d bridge. I separated the 3d bridges from the reflective water and reduced the number of verts in the water for the 2024 version. I h...

Amazing work Sage! Your full time job must be the APCD! Incredible how fast you brought this course to life.

If you or anyone out there can find a free 3d model on the internet ( Wavefront .obj and UV textured) that would work for a club house I will look into converting it for the APCD.

Hi Luenz! Yes the 2024 version is the update of the 2023 beta. There are new textures, new tee markers, I added some more vert details to the greens, added a visual fringe to the greens, and the biggest change is the new texture properties for the fringe. I think I will do one more update next year ...

Your issues ***might*** be a user account issue in Windows. I remember with Windows 10 the default or first user account was 'admin' level access. It was a while ago but I remember having some issues with some old programs even with the admin level. I made a new user account at the 'administrator' l...

Thanks Sage!

This updated version feels more polished with the texture changes and the 3d tee markers.

There is a new updated version available for this year. It should have addressed most of the issues discussed in this thread. Pin positions are all redone in this version with tournament pins as 0 to 5 with 0's being Sunday pin positions.

Change the water texture in front of #11 to a non-reflective "creek" texture. The small area of water is not flat.

That file conversion cannot be done. Using Links Extender to get 3D out of a course file is not possible. I wish it was possible but I have given up on the idea. You can start with a 3D object in the APCD directory and convert the .xyz and .map files with Links Extender to the .obj and .tga file for...

Yeah, getting multiple verts out of the terrain painter occasionally is something I see regularly as well. I think it is somewhat related to the slope of the terrain where the verts are being added; the multiple verts seem to occur more frequently on side hills for example. Try using edge collapse f...
