Each objects is built using severals vertices (The points used for define each faces), some faces share the same vertice, so strpix3 will build automaticly this vertex table. I found that about 255 is the limit for the maximum amount vertices that can be used in each object, i don't know if there is limit for the amount faces that can be used. Strpix3 will show you at the status bar the amount vertices and the amount faces used for the current object. If after importing a object from your CAD program the amount vertices is more that 255 then the GAME WILL CRASH when you try to play it. I hope this helps. ------------------ 'ZING' is not a word that I am familiar with, however I will make an exception to 'YOINK'. IP: Logged
