Lightmap bug

When I try to load an object with multiple materials there are two materials with the same Diffuse#1 texture but with 2 different LightMaps in 3DS Max assigned. Problem is that one material adopts the lightmap from the other (you see the ground uses the lightmap from the building). The only way to avoid this was to assign a different diffusetexture to one of the materials. Already tried but not working: 1. Delet and recreate material 2. undefine and reload texture in PteroMat 3. Pay attention both materials don't have the same ID or name 4. Pay attention both textures don't have the same ID Is this a common Problem with the engine or does a workaround exist to avoid such a bug? Best regards

If you can't because your "plane" is a part of the main object, maybe try to "unweld" it then... Sorry but it's the only suggestion I'm thinking about. Good luck!
