Wouldn't it be great if, when you select a certain map material, 3ds would give you the option to set the aspect ratio of the mapping icon to match the map's res. instead of having to remember the pixel res. of the darn thing? Steve Ormonde

Steve: Well… I create different surface maps for different resolutions because a high res map for a 4000 line 35mm slide output looks pretty ugly at 320×200 when it's scaled to fit that resolution. I still use the same number of pixels per inch solution, though, so your idea would automate the process for me. It's too early for me to think about any problems with this approach <grin>. C#

Craig, > …your idea would automate the process for me. Isn't that the reason we use computers anyway? <g> Maybe in R3! Steve Ormonde
