I'm still going through the tutotials and I keep runing across the same situation.This maybe a problem with my puck. When I go to select something I drag a red box and it won't go away and when I refresh it the object turns red. Is this something that is the result of a command I'm not aware of or something that needs to be cured before proceeding (I think it's the latter). -=Mike=-
