    You shouldn't smooth the model by adding vertices.. rather what is better is using the smooth lighting mode when selecting it in object mode.

    Try to avoid subdivision surface modifiers.

    That adds verts...

    Subdivision Surface, Multi-Resolution, smoothing..ect

    they are all modifiers that add verts.

    Have you thought of just modifying the T75 JBEAM structure to fit your model as it already has everything needed for a truck the only thing that would need overcoming is the slight glitchyness that would bring with it

    Re: Semi (my own design) my dae files are messed up i need help

    Egh wat.

    Why do you want to open the .dae file?
    If you want to keep working on it just use the .blend file and re-export another DAE when you are done, that how a correct workflow looks like.

    There are no 'predefined' DAE openers in Windows. You can open it with Blender by going (inside blender) to FILE. / IMPORT / DAE COLLADA.
