It will appear white in the 3d view. IP: Logged

Dox Junior Member Posts: 23 From:somerset, UK Registered: Dec 2000 | posted 01-05-2001 08:12 PM Only some of the wads have sky objects, and you have to make sure you choose one that has a sky object, or it will just appear black. In the room that you want the sky to be in, you have to set it as an outside room, by clicking the 'o' button under the plan view grid. Then, in that room, on all of the squares that you want to see the sky through, you have to click on the black color square in the color pallete, then apply that to them. ------------------ "the clash of ideas brings forth the spark of truth" IP: Logged
