Hi everyone, I will not make the same mistake again. This time I'll ask all you what an item is called. Since I'm not an english native speaker. I live next to an old church where you could find many of the things you seen on the picture. They are 2 meters high an part of a small wall. What's the name for it ??? TIA Holli

Hmmm...a "spire" maybe? What IS your native language and what do they call it there?

German, right? Hopefully Guitta, aka, "gebe" will see this, becasue I'm sure she would know. :)

They are 2 meters high an part of a small wall. Hm...I don't know the right name for them, either. I would probably refer to it as a "post"...if the small wall acts as a kind of fence. If I'm imagining it correctly, it would seem to be a sort of decorative accent. Someone studying architecture could probably fill in the blanks. P.S. Holli -- nice model! :) Varian -- Treasures d'Esprit http://www.varian.net/dreamview/dreamtools/vue/

I have seen people call this type of thing a stile.. but not sure if that is even the correct word. Whenever we run into things like this in english, it is usually called a thingymajig.. not to be confused with a thingamabob :) Diana

I don't know how we call this in german. I think "Post" is just fine. Ok, you'll find it in the free-stuff section the .vob .mat .obj This was my first try with the material editor so please be kind. many thanx to all Holli

Very nice Holli, thank you. :) I just went and downloaded it-- I can definitely use something such as this. The only thing I might mention, is that your Read Me ought to have a mention in there about where to place any actual materials which are included with a model. I just went ahead and stuck the material file in my Materials folder, without placing it in any sub-folder, and Vue found it, so I guess that's what you had done. But, the material is good, and the "post" is good, too. Thank you again. :) --Mike

heyas; decorative post sounds good. :) it's not a stile. a stile is like a little ramp/step thing that goes over a fence so you can walk over it without having to climb the fence itself.

"Pfosten" in deutsch and "halier" or "montant" en franis, maybe ? Anyhow, it looks very nice. The material you applied is perfect ! Hope you will use it in a picture soon :-) Guitta

I think the word you're looking for is an "abutment". -SMT

I'd rather stay in my lane than lay in my stain!
