(MED--blank model-no skins) Since I posted that message, I upgraded to 7.5 and now there is a dark shadow over my picture frames (all 30 of them) The 30 skins are visible in MED and the first skin is visible in WED but the skins are not visible in my game as they are not visible in the engine preview. I did rebuild a few test models and found the following --- a cube with two skins does not have a dark shadow --- if I use extrude then the model is seen with a dark shadow Is there a new option with ver 7.5 PRO that I am not using? I would like to get rid of the shadow and see the 30 different skins. Hope this helps! Ottawa Ver 7.86.2 Pro and Lite-C

Try the following workaround: - Download a beta MED from http://server.conitec.net/down/med.exe - Load and save your model with this beta MED. Please let me know if this helps. Also, make sure that all textures are a power of 2 - that is mandatory if the model has several textures of different size.
