 ArmA 3 modeling. 3D model file extension is P3D and bis changed to use type 70 P3D file format, old ArmA 2 tools (like Oxygen 2) most likely wont work anymore.

 Usually you get default, vehicle, ship, plane, etc type of extern / inherit errors, assuming you have old style lazy / wrong model.cfg writing style.
+===== Check Section Count =====
+If you have already binarized p3d model you can check section count with [[arma3:tools:mikero-tools|Mikero Tools Eliteness]].
+===== Texture Without a Path =====
+If your P3D includes TGA / PAA texture without a path, moveobject will not list this texture, neither does pboproject binarization complain about it (Mikero said something about procedural textures).
+Use powergrep to search it. Include files: *.p3d, action type: simple search and search type: binary data. You must turn the texture name into HEX codes, you cant just search the real texture name.
+===== Decals =====
+Object builder P3D property, On surface and Decal are not needed anymore.
+{{ https://pmc.editing.wiki/images/Object-Builder-Face-Properties.png }}
+Just use named properties from below.
+Decal Named Properties:\\
+class = land_decal\\
+map = hide
+But make sure your rvmat dont have procedural texture that turns it into red :-)
+===== Building Object Draw Distance =====
+HOWTO increase your building object draw distance for terrains by Opteryx
+First inherit Land_spp_Tower_F, then have this in the config:
+<code cpp>
+accuracy = 1000;
+featureSize = 100;
+featureType = 2;
+</code>
+Then these named properties in Geometry:
+{{ https://pmc.editing.wiki/images/ArmA-3-Building-Object-Draw-Distance-Geometry.png }}
+This only applies for max 500 static objects per terrain.
