    I am trying out BAT for the first time and whenever i preview/try to export my model, the meshes i used for the windows and some other miscellaneous stuff don't show up. Do meshes that are from lines just not show up in renders? Can someone help me out with this.

    Oh darn!

    Yeah you need to put an Edit Mesh modifier on lines and splines and alot of stuff for it to show. Its not enough to just use the 'Show Mesh" function from mesh settings.

    Check out the BAT Essentials tutorial,its got lots of cool tips.

    If the lines or shapes are splines that aren't extruded and don't have a mesh editing modifier (ie. just splines with the Display Mesh box checked), they'll need a UVW map to show in the preview.
