I have been playing about with pro, making objects from primitives, my first attempt was this plane, if you run the code then move the camera around to the side then the plane looks ok (for what it is anyway), if you then remove the rems where I tried to glue it together, then it goes mad and I end up with a flying saucer, what am I doing wrong (I assume it is me since other people must glue objects together ok), heres the code (no media required)



thanks in advance for the help.

I’ve only just started using 3d again so I’m a little rusty.

I found that if you create a mesh from your root object, then make an object from that mesh, things seem to fit together ok. Although for some reason I can’t texture the new object.

Edit: I was using the wrong texture number I’ve edited code.

thank you Custard, you are the man, that sorted things niceley, you can get away with glueing unmodified objects together, but as soon as you scale em something goes bannanas (where are all these fruit references coming from?) pears, bannanas, custard, MMMM foooood LOL,
thanks a lot mate, that sorts things nicely
