Paul: Your original message is still around, just set your date back to before 9/24 and you'll be able to see it. It is forum policy to refrain from deleting messages, they scroll off after about 2-1/2 weeks. Did you get my message #192338? I had popped you a couple of questions so we could get to the bottom of this bitmap problem you are having. BTW, which CIS software are you using? I ask only because your last message started a new thread. Did you use the REPLY command? This will keep our conversation in order and will be much easier to back track to check what things we've tried. Anyway, here's my first message: >> There are a few possibilities for the problem you have. Could it be that you have more than one bitmap file with the same name? Possibly one on your main workstation, one on your server? When you render the view on on the network workstations are you rendering to the same resolution as your main workstation? Rendering to fields? Rendering to same file type? Same number of colors? With a little more info I'm sure we'll get to the bottom of this one. << Let me know what you come up with and we'll get you going. Also, what is the resolution of the bitmap you are using for the map on your ground object? Bitmaps can get real fuzzy if they are not sufficiently high resolution. This will be extremely obvious if you use a low-res tiled bitmap to simulate a ceiling grid or floor pattern and then view it from an acute angle similar to what you are describing with your site. In these cases I opt for a much higher res bitmap or sometimes I'll forego the bitmap and actually model the geometry if it isn't too time consuming. Is your ground bitmap tiled over a large area or does it cover the whole site? – Bob Ritger
