I’ve imported some of my old designs to FH4 but noticed the game has moved parts of the design I tryed to move them back to the correct places but it says it’s locked anything I can do?
In “My designs” listing there is no padlock 
it’s only when I go to edit I get a message saying its locked.
I’ve had something similar on a couple of designs, where it shifted but was able to drag it back inline quite easily.
I’d suggest you go back to prior game and make sure you dont have any locked decals on the design then try again!

this is funny because my problem is not being able to import original designs. like mu hot boii s14 from horizon 3. put a solid 5 hours into layering all the decals.
Just clarify are the layers used your own creation? or was the design constructed from downloaded or shared decals?

All my older designs had to be adjusted/edited before sharing as well, but that’s okay as it was good to give them the once over anyway to identify and fix any errors.
As for inability to import designs, as suggested, is everything you’re trying to import your own work?
Yep, had this the other day on the ‘56 Ford F-100.
It’s the only one I’ve encountered so far & not too surprising as it was my most difficult Horizon 3 design to align due to the ridiculously glitchy nature of the car. I tried importing the design from FM7 a couple of times but couldn’t edit it but I could edit the original Horizon 3 version once I’d imported that.
It’s still massively glitched though, I think I’d be better off painting it again from scratch 
To be fair, they’ve cleaned up the F-100 a bit so while it’s still a glitchy challenge, it’s not as much of one as it was.
That’s good to know H - the design file is currently sporting the new title “NEEDS EDITING” 
Rear of the cab is still hanging off the edge of the map but the running boards have certainly been fixed.
I’ve got a couple paints up for it and they’re doing surprisingly well.
I have definitely created shareable and locked designs on FH3 of multiple cars and am not able to access them in our new Horizon game, so I recon we got ourselves a glitch 'ere people.
Trev - I didn’t paint a great deal on FH3 but have successfully been able to import the stuff I did do and edit it. This is on Xbox 1 X.
Couple of things - what exact problem are you having?
What format are you on?
Are the designs you’re trying to import on the exact same vehicle model, which is available on FH4?
Do your designs incorporate layer groups you have downloaded from the storefront, manufacturer decals or are they all your own work from scratch?
Can you import designs from other Forza’s o.k. i.e. is this specific to FH3?
Can you import the designs as layer groups? (Save each side as a layer group of FH3, then re-sync and import the layer groups to be applied to the car)
Hi Dam’ thanks fa taking the time ta reply…
… I must be a lil’ bit silly as I have realised all the designs and vinyls I created in Motorsport 6/ 7 and FH3 are all ‘working’ …
…just took me awhile to find 'em and when I did It took me awhile to realise my Best-est n Fav design wasn’t working in the new Horizon game was because it was applied to the Torana ‘Horizon Edition’ Car which is NOT available in FH4.
I made the design in forza motorsport 5, it’s for the BMW M6 cupe , made it myself & used some of the ingame Manufacturer decals, I can put it on the car and share it fine.
Other cars I’ve done will let me edit them so idk why it’s doing this, it’s not locked in FMS 5 ether.
The manufacturer decals can change from game to game, so that may be your issue. Maybe load up FH4 and check to see if all of the same decals are available in this game. If some are missing, try removing those from your design on FM5 and re-importing it. Or remove all the manufacturer decals altogether, import it and re-apply the ones on FH4 in their place.
The above post was by me, didn’t realise I weren’t signed in.
No worries at all Trev, just glad you’re sorted.
I’m trying to get my designs but each folder has the designs from 4 I open one from 2 or 3 it only shows the ones I made in horizon 4
I’ve had the same issue since the Series 29 update. From what I’ve read on the forums it appears to affect Xbox 1 X consoles but not the new Series X/S or PC. (Stand to be corrected on that though).
I submitted a ticket on Dec 10th but surprisingly it got merged with a separate ticket I wrote concerning missing Blueprints (after Super7 launch).
Received a reply on the 24th saying “I am marking this ticket as ‘solved’…” but it’s unclear if this applies to both issues or either one of them in particular.
If the reply I got is only referring to the Blueprints issue and there aren’t enough people who submit a ticket about the Import issue, then I doubt very much it will be fixed.
Update 28 started all the issues for me. I haven’t been able to import nothing at all since and still isn’t fixed. I’m not the only with this issue but apparently t10 bit off more then they chew.
