BAT not showing in Plugins manager

[deanva 70]

I just finished making a prop using the SC4 BAT and exported it. Now it shows up in my main plugins folder as a SC4MODEL file only and will not load in the PIM to change it to a prop only (not a buiding etc) what am I doing wrong? I want to be able to use the Lot editor and use that prop.

Did you make sure to check the plugins folder box when running PIM?

Not sure where is that box at? I am using Windows 10 not sure if that makes a difference.

Oh forgive me, I was reading a topic about PIM-X before coming here and that was in my mind. You're probably using the Maxis PIM, right? Well that's weird. One of the problems I already had using it was when I used special characters in the model's name.

I guess so it is the one that is in german (.de) is the PIM-X better?

Well I'm using PIM-X just recently, but I think it's way better than Maxis PIM.

Just found this thread about the same problem, if you want to take a look, especially on @rsc204 suggestions, which solved this user problem.

I downloaded the SC4/PIM-X it does show up in that. Will try later to see what happens.

The prop which is a pole vault for track and field shows up at zoom level 4  the next shoot shows it at level 5 and above. I read this can be normal any way to fix it?

This problem is quite common, usually just reexporting the model will solve it, but if you still don't have the ID fix, I highly suggest you to download it: https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?page=14

Reexporting worked thanks JP, also the game seems to load a lot faster now not sure if it is because of the SC4PIM or not.
