Hi Darin You're probably going to have a lot of trouble making windows using geometry. A better solution would be to apply a decal of the windows, and if you want them to have differing shininess or opacity properties than the rest of the hull, use a matching map in the shininess and opacity slots in the materials editor, or as masks in the same slots (depending on how you have this hull material set up). Another solution would be to detach faces from the hull, and give them a glass material, but your window shape would be constrained to whatever possible shapes you could make out of the hull faces. You could also boolian, I suppose, but really, the best solution would be to do it with materials. I hope that helps. M. Samia
