Umm ... no. The angle is, of course, constant. And the normal is OK, too. Could you have missed the fact that the heading is counterclockwise(?), unlike everywhere else in fgfs? (That's the little quirks that make fgfs so much fun. ;-) If you use the ufo, then you see that it outputs a heading that works. This wouldn't be possible if there were some irregularity. > P.S.

If I somehow manage to load some hardware "decoration" from the disk, then one could possibly allow to assign faces to object names -- two in one entry. But first I have to find a way to do that at all. m. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
