This definitely sounds like a smoothing group problem. Note that using 2-sided faces will NOT solve this problem, because smoothing is dependant upon the surface normals facing the _same way_ for smooth-shading to happen within a smoothing group. If you use a 1-sided material, and the surface normals are facing the same way, try this: – Under Surface/Smoothing/Object, clear all smoothing groups. – Then, do an AutoSmooth on that object. If this doesn't solve your problem, you've either got double faces in that area or some other geometric anomoly. – G
