Hello all,

I'm still playing with the DB Pro Demo, and it's pretty fun and the rich command set seems pretty powerful, but I have 2 questions (so far):

1. I want to load one .X file object and place multiple instances in the world. The only command I have seen that is remotely what I want is object clone but according to the documention, that actually duplicates the object's data, which is not what I want. I want one original set of data, and as many copies as I care to render.

2. I'm trying to set up a menu screen, and I want a bitmap background with 3D objects in front of it. I'm using load image and paste image, which works great for the background, but since I can't specify the draw order, it seems to be overwriting my rendered scene rather than being rendered behind it. (I wish that there would have been a render object command so you could have a bit more control over things like that.)

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide,

John
