Dear all,
Hope you all had a joyful Christmas with your families and relatives.
What is the strategy to create the mesh for a runway + taxiways and apron in 3DSMax ? I'm unfamiliar with this tool and the wiki tuto is somewhat evasive on the topic.
I drew the rectangle for the runway, the closed spline for the outer boundaries, and then another closed spline for taxiways and apron.
When I use the ATTACH modifier, then QUADIFY MESH, I get an intricate mesh as illustrated below, which I assume is not good.
What should be the workflow to draw a runway and its taxiways and create the mesh?
Should I only attach outer boundary and runway, then quadify mesh and keep the taxiway spline as a separate element I can texture? will it be displayed on top?
Or is there a way to cut away the taxiway and apron area from the mesh and then manually redefine mesh segments just like we do for the runway?
Should I add also the 1m chamfer around the taxiway?

Thank you in advance to whoever can clarify the workflow
Cheers
