    Hi all...

    this's ma first post. hope i get some replies...:)

    I modeled the hull and tanks of an AHTS vessel in modelmaker, and saved it as a .gf file. But when trying to open the same file using modelmaker, i'm getting a warning:
    Append gf : referenced shape does not exist! Comp:

    And when i press ok, im getting an error message:
    Error#9: Subscript out of range

    and Modelmaker stops responding...

    Could someone help me out please....
    thanks in advance!!!

    I have experienced similar errors in Modelmaker when using the "opposite" command to model tanks. You may have to use a text editor to find the referenced shape that "does not exist" in the .gf file and delete it. I have found using command files is much more reliable than the drop down menus in Modelmaker.

    thanks Paul for your reply...
    i modified the names i had given to tanks- removed the commas i had used in the create command,

    and now ITS WORKING..!!!
