Hi Greg, When I load an object in the detail editor I create a state for it called "first". Then I rotate it and create another state called "second". Now if I set the object back to the "first state it stays in the same position even though I set shape and properties when I created the states. why? Also the manual says that the cycle editor was replaced by the states function. Do you use the cycle editor? Should I bother trying to learn it or should I just use states? Thanx… ->James
