StudioMDL common Errors

WARNING: Model has 2-dimensional geometry (less than 0.500 inches thick on any axis)!!!

This error happens because the physics model have some hard edge normal applied, tri to soften the vertex normals with Normal > soften edge.
save the scene again, and recompile your model, studioMdl should not display that error again. If the message appears again try to apply a freeze transform on the normal of the colision model.
