mmm, some how some part where never loaded in 3d max ... , so i have now a level that is for 50% lightmapped

o btw a great tools comes whit the POE tools ive used that 1 (had a proper set up ) and youre right 1/2 its saves lots of time onle need to fix the not loading error and then re-lightmap all
