so I'm using limbs to build a sort of car thing only I want all the outside to look like a single surface therefor paralell planes should have the same tone. However all of the limbs based of triangles are always darker and I can't work out why and make them the same shade. I have tried applying texture but they are still darker. Its not very easy to explain but basicly load up the code below and you may see what I mean.

See the loop at the end of the function ... BTW, you shouldn't GOSUB to a function name - call the function as I've done in the code. Although DBPro currently allows it, and it is currently safe, there's no guarantee that it will be so in the future.

It's one of the newer commands - you need to upgrade to one of the newer versions of DBPro.
