Ted, I don't know how many shapes and verticies I had at the time. The message appeared in the lofter as I was trying to refine the path. I have started the project over now, and haven't seen the error again. Here's another question, if you've got a minute. I am trying to assign reflective properties to non-spherical objects. Basically I see two things. When I assign these to an object that was lofted from a quad with rounded corners, I just get the reflections from the rounded corner areas. This happens if I use spherical or cylindrical mapping. There is another object that was lofted from a multiple sided shape with all curved lines. When I apply a chrome material to it, only the edge that was paralell to the path will have the material on it. The flat sides (the ends, which would be open if I didn't cap ends) just have a dull mud color on them. I'm sure there must be an easy fix for this that I'm over looking in the books. Anyway, I appreciate the response to the shape counter thing. Thanks, Terry
