My parents run a video business and they use LW7 for logos etc... I have this problem as do they I play around with it and when I use smooth shift If I want to smooth shift some polys up 1/2m on the y in the upper right screen where the model can be previewed you can see the yellow highlighted polygon you just worked on higher up where it should be but you can't see solid model its like you can see through it.
I have tried flipping polygons and this does not work also if I make say a disk 18m tall 6m round it will look fine but when I move it around to view it from all sides i can look inside it from the bottom if I flip the polys it messes up the rest of the model so that is not it. It's as if lw is not making solids. I'm pretty new to LW but have used some other lower end modeling programs, I like LW and the many features in it but it does not seem to act right for me any help would be great
thanks alot:cool:
