Creating an LOD group using Edit > LOD (Level of Detail) > Generate LOD Meshes fails if any of the selected meshes is not the unique child of a top-level transform. If you have an existing lodGroup hierarchy, it fails if any mesh under the LOD_0 node is not the unique child of a transform whose parent is LOD_0.
Workaround: To generate lower resolution meshes from multiple meshes, each selected mesh must be the unique child of a top-level transform. This groups the meshes directly under LOD_0 in a flat hierarchy by making the parent of each mesh a direct child of LOD_0.
Similarly, to re-generate lower resolution meshes from an existing LOD hierarchy, each mesh must be the unique child of a parent transform, and that transform must be a direct child of LOD_0.
If you delete the history of a mesh (Alt + Shift + D), then freeze its transform (Modify > Freeze Transformations), generating lower resolution meshes with Edit > LOD (Level of Detail) > Generate LOD Meshes or can result in deformed lower resolution meshes.
Workarounds: 1. Reverse the order of the operations, freezing the transform before deleting the history. 2. Export the frozen mesh as an FBX file, then import it before applying Edit > LOD (Level of Detail) > Generate LOD Meshes.
Exporting to FBX with the Triangulate option on can corrupt the scene (trash the shading). This occurs if you delete history then export an object containing per-component shading.
Workarounds: 1. Save the scene before doing the FBX export, then re-open the scene (without saving again) after the export. 2. Avoid using the FBX Triangulate option, and triangulate use Mesh > Triangulate instead.

The first time you start Maya LT, the Customer Involvement Program dialog box appears. If you choose to participate in the Customer Involvement Program, Maya LT automatically sends Autodesk information about your system configuration, what features you use most, any problems that you encounter, and other information helpful to the future direction of the product. For further information, see http://www.autodesk.com/cip.
We are able to improve the stability of Maya LT largely because of the Customer Error Reports (CERs) that users of our products submit. We thank you for taking the time to fill out these reports and ask that you include as much information as possible about what actions you were performing at the time the error occurred. These details raise the value of the report immensely and are very much appreciated by the Autodesk Maya LT Engineering team.
