yea it locks and all like its supposed to but, you can see the stuff inside the object. You know for instnace the plane model that comes in dark matter, If you locked that object to the screen using that code i gave earlier and playe dhte animation, you can see the weels moving insde the plane and all the gears or whatever is moving inside it.

Might be a bug in DBPro.

It could be that the object is too close to the camera. Try moving it further away.

how can i move it further away,

is it liek

position object #,0,0,0

or

point camera 0,0,0

or whatever. I mean if this is going to be the case then, when i want to create a first person shooter where the gun bobs using a sin curve, how can i prevent it from showing up like that. If anyone can give me a Lock code so i can subsittute my objects in so i can see who to posistion the camera corectly, then that would really help alot!
Thanks

to move it away alter the z dimension after the lock command in the position command to a more positive integer.

Lock object on 1
` x,y,z
position object 1,9,3,3
