Hi Terry- >>Have you checked the axis of the revsurf for degenerate faces? These are faces that run from pole to pole and have only 2 vertices. This often occurs along with vertices that don't _quite_ meet at the poles. That is a common problem with revsurfs and can really screw up a boolean. I don't really understand why you cannot use a normal sphere. What do lights have to do with it?<< I have been able to use a normal sphere outlined by JKJ. I am having limited success though with boolean. Sometimes works, but most of the time it does not. I am still working on getting this done, fortunately with the help of others here on the Forum. I need to place a light inside the hollowed out sphere to show the inside surface as the continents "extrude" from the sphere. Learning a lot more about modelling on this one! Mike
