Christophe, I tried your suggestion by assigning the material to selected faces. I still get an opaque cube. I will uploand the file WAYCUBE.PRJ to you. I would appreciate it if you could make it work. This excercise comes from Paul Stevenson Oles, AIA book "Architectural Illustration". He is a well know Architectural Illustrator and does work for I. M. Pei and friends. He is currently working on a book with M.I.T. Dean of Architecture William Mitchell, entitled "Visualization, Tradition + Technology". I'm comparing how rendering programs like 3D studio create scenes in comparison to the rules the Steve Oles have established. His hand renderings are done with wax pencils and are close to photorealistic. It is what I call "right brain art". I did not realize that you are located in Belgium. I am located in St. Helena, California in the heart of the Napa Valley wine country about 60 miles north of San Francisco. I'm always amazed that I live so close to AutoDesk and the Yost Group in S.F. yet get responses from clear across the globe. Thanks again for your help. This simple problem is driving me crazy.
