Hello I am trying to export COLLADA files from Studio 2.0, to import them on
3dsmax and I have this issue.
Some of the bricks are not on the correct position, they seem to have lots of
gaps.
I have been dealing with this problem since the past year, and I hoped it will
be fixed by now, but unfortunately, it remain unsolved.

Could you please advise on this matter?

Hi,

First, the dedicated forum for Studio and PartDesigner is https://forum.bricklink.com/
(hover over the red Studio icon on every page, then click “Studio Forum”).

You can search the forum for your question before posting a new one (the search
box is in the very dark grey banner).
There’s also indexes of known bugs and suggestions that you can browse first:
Studio: https://forum.bricklink.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5579
PartDesigner: https://forum.bricklink.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=5589


Then, there’s been a few bugs with the COLLADA export but, AFAIK, they have almost
all been fixed.

One thing that may happen though is a problem with submodels: it seems the submodels’
positions are not always understood (by Blender for instance).
The main thread is here: https://forum.bricklink.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6159
(And people alluded to it a couple times… but without specifics.)

So I would first try to release all the submodels before exporting.

Anyway, note that the COLLADA format doesn’t pose any problem to Eyesight (it’s
the same as the DAE sent to Eyesight, the Photorealistic renderer, based on Blender’s
Cycles).
Also, as you can see, the afore mentioned thread is short and has had no follow-up,
so I’m not sure it has been fixed and came back (doesn’t seem so but I don’t
have all the infos on the bugs) but what I’m certain of is that no one bumped
it.
I’m not saying that bugs always need to be bumped to be solved but it sure helps
to know people are interested in seeing them fixed
