Hello!

We will need more info so we can help. 

1) what exactly are you trying to do? Shatter your spaceship?

2) what have you tried so far? "everything" isn't as useful as a few things you have tried specifically.

3) what version software are you using?

1. Yes

2. Deleting history, freezing transformation, changing material. I tried to create box and use this things and its works. So i guess problem in a starship

3. Maya 2018.3

 It does sound like it's a problem with your model, if your method is working with a box. 

I've heard shatter doesn't like non-solid objects. Maybe run a merge verts or a cleanup, see if there's something weird with your mesh?

Thank you, i found polygons that interfere, but how to delete it, could you tell me how to do it? How to tune cleanup or something else, or for shure can i send a model to you to see it, if it's not difficult to you? But if you can't, thanks for this, you have already helped me a lot.

Please upload a file for @Lindsey_Robbins  to check.

You can attach a file here or add a link. (Maybe ZIP the file first.)

Hi!

There are many problems with the mesh.

- Faces with more than 4 sides.

- Non-manifold Geometry

- Multiple Materials assigned

...

It should be one "clean" closed volume if you want to use it with Shatter.

it deletes material and make model bigger
