The reason I didn't just label it "material definitions" was that I don't think that a new user is going to understand what that means, while the concept of different textures should be familiar to people who have some background in graphics, or gaming. I agree it's not completely accurate. Something like "Scenery library" is a bit too generic, and might be confused with scenery itself. A tricky one to get right. I'm open to other suggestions. > Second, could we devise a way to make localy customized materials appear among > the options automagically? I thought about this, but came to the conclusion that it wasn't worth the additional coding time. As far as I'm aware, non-developers aren't using locally customized materials, and anyone creating their own materials files shouldn't have any problems adding a new definition to the dialog if they wish. Of course, if anyone would like to add this function they are very welcome to do so. It's just not high on my own priority list. -Stuart ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't let slow site performance ruin your business.
