Thanks Jrr and bigrobot.:-) But its not working. I am trying here to find something to fix this problem. I did some tests and I found something can be a tip to know what is hapening. 1. I made a pic with 3 mountains, each one at his place, saving them before render, checking out if they were not hiden and also if auto-update was abled. And, since I have missing parts when I try open the pic, I grouped all mountains to have only one object. So, I saved and reopened the pic and got the same: pic is ok on screen, but the little screen have missing parts. I went to edit mode, ungrouped the "object" and guess what! They were there, each over other and not at place they should be. 2. I did a new pic, again with the 3 mountains. After the first mountain, I saved the file, closed it and opened to see if the mountain were there. And yes, the mountain was there. Then, I made the second mountain (not grouped with the first one), saved before and also after render and so I reopened the pic. I could see the 2 mountains on screen BUT NOT on little screen. There I could see only the second one. I went to edit mode and I found I had 2 mountains there, one over the other. The first time I sent mail to this forum I was talking about other pics and these ones had parts missing. No idea where they went! I hope this can help a little more.:-) Thanks again, Beth
