as for creating a window... you take a box, you make it thinner on the x or z axis, you select the faces vertically, press c (connect, cuts them in half and connects the vertices), then do the same thing horizontally. select all the 8 smaller square faces, inset them, bump them inside, then just give them ANY material designation/color. once inside bryce you can just give that a glass mat, and a wooden mat for the frame, and you've got a window. wings101. that'll be 49.95, and you can always get more advice on my new dvd-quality cd-rom, available wherever wings nutters come together. drac
