Photo scene sticking to cars

This one is strange. I have spent close to 7 hours building two cars, and all of my work has ended to no avail. I have attached screenshots of the second car I made. They feature a photo scene stuck to a car in the photo scene and in the beamng export screen. It is hard to exactly explain this issue, however this is be best I can do. To produce the issue seen in the screenshots, I entered the photo scene with a completely different car and tried to switch scenes, attempting to find a good shot. I guess I did it too quick or something, because the screen went black. I clicked the save button(because it was still there, just the background wasnt), and reloaded the game. After loading back in to continue on with the photoshoot, I realized that there was a photoscene.. inside of another photo scene. So, I left that screen, and went to export, assuming there were no problems. Then, I see my car hanging out of a photo scene in the beamng export screen. I am sorta panicking now and decide to export anyway, expecting the worst. The export finishes and I load in the car. The back end is floating and I can not move (until i switch to 4wd because front wheels are on the ground). I proceed to drift on my front two wheels. I then decided to do it again. Make another car, and try again. Same issue. I am going to try changing from and back to the beta. (which I am on, probably should have mentioned earlier)

note: i had created two cars earlier and it worked just fine.

UPDATE: SWITCHING AWAY FROM THE BETA AND BACK TO IT FIXED THE ISSUE. I will have to remove the affected vehicles from the beamng files and reexport, however the issue is fixed.

The solution for this sort of thing is typically to clear your game cache.

This is done by going into the Troubleshooting Tool when presented with the launch options for Automation, and pressing the “Clear Cache” button. Note that clearing your cache will delete all of your custom keybinds/settings, Photo Mode presets and globally-saved car paints.

Thank you for your response. I will remember this if the issue or something like it pops up ever again.
