Hi Rich, We don't know how face mapping works. 🙂 The engineer that would know is busy writing 3dstudio Max. However, you can know as much as we know by reading the "The Face Map Button" section in the Materials chapter. My manual indicates that it starts on page 9-66 of the 3DS Reference manual. Here's my guess… Face mapping appears rather arbitrary in the way it assigns and orientation to the bitmap. It may be that in the case where two coplaner faces share an invisible edge, the order of the faces in the face list determine which face becomes the UV 0,0 corner. Where there is a single face, the first vertex becomes 0,0. I don't know if any of this is true though, you'll have to try it to be sure. -Grant Blaha [ADESK]
