I've been trying to duplicate the archway (initially) that is in Calyxa's tutorial on Archways and I've come upon a problem. I cannot seem to make the archway open. I have adjusted the elevation clipping bracket all thru the scale and it seems to have no effect on the rendered object. Any ideas as to what step I am forgetting? I've attached the image for reference. TIA Curfew

Try making it from a lattice rather than a terrain.

How do I do that. I thought a terrain was a lattice. Guess my newbi-ness is showin thru...:-)

to create a lattice, go to the create palette and click on the double sided mountain looking thing.

OK... now I feel foolish.... Using a symmetrical lattice did the trick... Guess a terrain culdn't very well be transparent, could it... Many thanks...

Hi Curfew, A lattice is Symetrical,(whatever is done to one side reacts on the other) But a terrain is not. Be sure to make the terrain solid by selecting "Solid" from the drop menu in the terrain editor, if you want to do boolean operations with it. in case you may not know The clipping bracket is located on the right side of the canvas in the terrain editor. click and drag on it . also Alt/click on the bracket to re-set it . good luck Hope this helps Hawkfyr
