John: You helped me w/ a modeling problem having to do with a pyramid w/truncated corners. The mapping was the problem and the solution to the vanishing side WAS unify command. I guess what I'm wanting to know is what other means is there to make a mesh pyramid which is really an octogon only four faces are narrow. A trimmed pyramid. Hope this isn't to badly described. Thanks', Gary

I think there are many ways to accomplish this. Without going into 3DS and doing it myself, which I can't do right now, I can only suggest some experiments: Make an eight sided, faceted g-sphere, then select, scale, and pull the appropriate vetices. Make a pyramid, boolean the "points" off. Stuff like that… hope it helps, John Tissavary (LUNA cie)
