I need some quick assistance on a minor mapping question. I am trying to edge map a 3D map of the USA with a gradiant going from green to red, so that as the individual states scale outward at different rates to represent their respective levels, the color at the upper surface of the state changes color. Is there an easy way to do this that I am missing? I've tried edge mapping the states as a unit – the only way I can get it do change color is to return to the Editor and reapply the mapping coordinates once I have scaled the states. While this works for a single frame at any given point in the animation, the upper surface of the state does not change automatically as it scales over time. Any quick solutions? TIA for any quick help that can be provided. Bob Weil
