Hi Ben, and thank you for your quick reply. I am putting together an image of two scaled renders of the cotoneaster bush, and the scales are set to 3-3-5 and 60-60-75 respectively. as you will (hopefully) soon be able to see the smaller one comes in nearly complete, and the larger is nearly all black. There is at time a cutting off of the image map half way into the tree, and at times in certain scale there is a wedge of image map that cuts into the leaf area. Being new here I have to ask, do I post the image of my problem to this section of the forum? For what I have known of your talent and generosity I remain your attentive admirer. Thanks and I will post as soon as possible, Arisdemos
