your pivot is wrongly placed in either Zmodeler, or a setting regarding the pivot placement in the game of the editor is wrong.

but my money would be on the pivot in Zmodeler.

Click on move ->(suboptions) move pivot only -> drag the pivot underneath the car -> save -> export.

redo all lights, doors, bars and so on.

save and test

then the placement in the editor

when you click edit on the first tab on the left side.

it should be custom.

Yes like Tian said you have to put the placement in custom in the editor. Here a picture that i had

LOL??? the pivot is only 1 cm under the car and i saved it and exported it again but i got still the same problem

[Tian318]

apparently not.

since the pivot should dictate on how high a model is from the ground when you use the custom function for a model.

Since your model is still halfway in the ground that just shows that the pivot is not placed correctly.

take a good look at your model file, do you perhaps have more then one pivot?(bar/car/doors) for example can already give you real fast +3 pivots.

all the bars doors etc are connected to the model so here's a pic how its lookslike in zmodeler but the wierd thing is 2 days ago had the ambulance no trouble and the pivot is still on the same place but he dissappears too under the ground

[RedHawk504]

So where do i now need to place the pivot??

[Tian318]

well since your car drops below the ground you would need to place the pivot somewhere allong the line of where i have placed the pivot of the ALP.

you need(if you look at my picture).

the green circle, that is the pivot of the truck itself.

so that pivot needs to be under the truck.

a pivot should always be centered on the truck/car

Je moet(als je naar die foto kijkt).

Het groene rondje hebben, daar zit de pivot van de vrachtwagen(ALP).

Dus die pivot moet onder de vrachtwagen.

Een pivot moet altijd gecentreerd onder de wagen.

Edit: Bedankt voor het sturen van het bestand.

Hier staat jou pivot.

Edit: Thanks for sending the file to me.

Here is your pivot.

And that needs to be under the car.

I will modify the file and send it back to you.

Then you can see what and where.

Eenmaal alles goed gezet dan krijg je hem zo in de editor(was alleen de skin vergeten).

8. We gaan naar het linker of rechter view.
   
9. We klikken op het model en slepen de pivot onder de auto in het midden.

The pivot has to sit lower. Yo have it sitting even with the truck. It should be sitting lower where the wheels would touch the ground:

Red circle shows where the pivot is. The green + in the red circle shows where it should be.
