Stan, did you get the cell I uploaded over the weekend? The one I was having trouble with the IFF mapping on? I only mention because I see from the message traffic that some other uploads may have gotten lost.

Keith – Yes I did. There wasn't a name on the text file, I think I answered the wrong guy! Anyway I looked at the cell and it wasn't that far off. The main problem I think you are having is the postition of the Axis you assigned your brush to. Try this method: Add a sphere with a size of 100. Then add an axis for your brush with a size of 200 "Z" and 320 "X". Place the axis at -100 "X", -100 "Z" and 0 "Y". If all is well, the brush axis should be positioned so the "Z" axis is just to the left of the sphere, and the "X" axis is just below the sphere. Do the "group" and "cluster" commands as you normally would. THis will give you one copy of the brush on the sphere.

Stan + Keith, I am 'the wrong guy' stan mailed. I too uploaded a file for stan to look at (oh confusion…). Anyway, I tried your layout last night stan, but it still had the mirror effect on the back of the sphere. Positioning the axis with you co-ords did make the text much more evenly mapped to the sphere. It seems to me that the IFF mapping is somehow using up the IFF picture on the front half of the sphere then doing something weird on the back?. I'm still playing with it, if I have no luck, I'll mail the entire thing to you stan, you may find it simpler to see whats going on.
