Bob, thanx for the reply. I kinda like Steve suggestions about having the 2sided option on only for the meshes that require it. I am thinking with the proper foresight and prototype drawings setup, many of the materials can be automatically placed onto the meshes by having the ACAD.mli loaded when starting a new 3DS session. The only thing that will be left to be done is to place mapping coordinates. Does having the two sided option really slow down the rendering time? I've tried a couple of tests and found only a difference of 5-15sec. Ted Boardmen had also mentioned FACADE. How does it work? What is primarily used for? Any additional info would be appreciated. This might not be the proper forum, but are you using the standard AutoArch doors and windows or do you have other manufactures? Pella/Hunt windows just sent our office their Designer Series cad files that are supposed to work in Auto Arch, I tried to install them but I could not get them to work. I haven't found time to fool around with them yet. One last note, does Softdesk have a Compuserve forum? Thanx again, pHred
