I don't want any extra features. I also agree that the DXF translation is great!! However, when items are brought over from Autocad, not all of the n normals in the SAME PLANE are facing the same way. I've followed the manuals instructions on how to fix this problem, but it reoccurs any time either the map or mapping coordinates are changed. Then some (not all) of the faces have their normals flipped. It can even be different faces if the mapping is changed a third time. On a complex architectural model, this becomes very time consuming to track down. We have ended up having to define almost all of our materials as two sided. This in turn slows down the rendering time. I was simply inquiring if anything had (or could) be done to improve an already excellent product. Some architects in our firm seem to have trouble remembering to draw ALL 3Dfaces in a counterclockwise direction, from the viewing point. This does re- duce the problem, but doesn't completely cure it. – Scott
