I am attempting to place a bitmap cel image crated in AA Pro onto a square box with a thickness about 1/10th the distance of the sides. The texture map image maps wonderfully to the top surface AND TO THE BOTTOM SURFACE. I don't want it to map to the bottom surface. Is there a way to prevent this? It looks sort of like this. ____________ _ ____________ | | | | | | | Image | | | | egamI | | | | | | | | Here | | | | ereH | | | | | | | |____________| |_| |____________| Thanks! Dennis

Dennis, 1. Just select the bottom faces and do a create/face/detach. This will create a new object. You can map this seperately now and do a create/object/attach to reattach to the original object. 2. If you don't need mapping co-ords on the bottom just apply a new material to the bottom faces (surface/material/assign/face[selected]).

I continued to look for the answer to this problem, and found it on page 11-14 in the tutorial, "Detaching Faces". Thanks if anyone already responded. I think I read somewhere where I could delete a note if I liked. In this case, I would probably do so if I knew how. If someone does know how, and explains it to me, I will delete these two notes if you think it appropriate. Or if you think others could benefit from this, I will leave it posted. BTW, how long do notes stay on the board? Am I supposed to delete it after a certain point? Thanks, Dennis

Dennis, you can leave the messages on. They will scroll off after new ones push them off – about 5 days. The answer may benefit others.
