Hey I'm new with Darkbasic but have an ok understanding of it.

Ok my problem is:
When I load the model i made it has many missing polygons. Is this because of it's large size ?(1.2mb)Also, the way I'm loading it is with the example model viewer in the help file.

Any help apprieciated,
Mark

If they are the foremost polygons of the model it may be that the front polygons are inside the camera's range. (for example the polygon is located 200 units away the the camera range is 500,1000)

@Mark
Do you mean you are just looking at it in the model browser?
It could be that the face data isn't being exported properly, or maybe the front faces are being culled instead of the back.
Luke810's suggestion is likely but I think he meant the front polygons are closer to the camera than the near limit of the camera range.

That's exactly what I meant, I didn't know how to phrase it properly.

Try setting the cull flag to 0 on the SET OBJECT command after loading the model. I had trouble like that before. That might or might not be what the problem is.

The example model viewer may or may not have cull flag set to 0 when compliled

This may fix the problem but it still leaves the object with its faulty face data.
Have you used the object in DB, it might just be that your object is so big or small or offset in a weird way that the browser can't display it properly.
Can you attach the model so I we can have a look
