Hi Larry, >> All looks good, but one potential problem – the number of allowable materials in a project file… my memory tells me the limit is 256 materials. If there are 100 lots, that 2.56 materials per lot. << Zoinks! I posted a message to Gary Yost to confirm this. This would require the use of a special city library of materials, wouldn't it? It would severely limit the use of custom maps/materials, which would require us to make further use of geometry. Ouch. We could probably use a Director of Materials (even if there isn't the 256 limit); someone responsible for coordinating the library. They would need to poll others to decide what common maps (I suggested some before) could be reused for many different materials. They would also oversee the selection of a wide variety of plastics, metals, woods, brick, skin, etc. It would be nice if everyone got one custom material too, eh? Paul S.
