Might be interesting to check to see which direction the face normals are pointed in. Assuming that you do not have Yost Disk #7, Have you tried rendering the objects with default materials to see if the faces exist? If so next you might try Surface/Mapping/Adjust/Bitmap Fit and then use the center command to locate the map icon. If that still doesn't work you might try scaling the map icon drasticly large and small. Make sure "face map" is not selected in the Materials Editor. Check that you have assigned "Tile" in your Mapping Parameters in the Materials Editor. Hope some of this helps <g>. -Lee

Jeff, Try selecting the faces, and detaching them into an object. You now have two choices 1) make the mapping coordinates the size of the object, and use the tile settings to adjust how the image repeats along the x and y axes. TIP: instead of repeating this for every adjacent wall, keep the mapping coordinates size and tiling settings the same, and rotate the coordinates flat to the adjacent walls, this ensures that the tile lines will line up perfectly. 2)scale the mapping coordinates to the size you want each tile to appear and apply it. Use bitmap fit to get the proportions of the mapping coordinates correct. When using this method the tile settings have to be x=1, y=1. Check your image to be sure that it is exactly the size you want – no extra balck border or space around it. Try "FORCE TWO SIDED" on the render dialogue box.
