Hi Richard - How about making one ribbon thicker than the other, so there's no ambiguity about which is on top? You can set cartoon_rect_length and cartoon_rect_width for individual objects... In my experience, though, ambiguity about which surface is on top just produces mottled surfaces - one triangle of one color next to a triangle of the other color. Could you post a link to a picture of the artifacts? - Matt -- Matthew Franklin phone:(917)606-4116 Senior Scientist, ImClone Systems fax:(212)645-2054 180 Varick Street, 6th floor New York, NY 10014 Confidentiality Note: This e-mail, and any attachment to it, contains privileged and confidential information intended only for the use of the individual(s) or entity named on the e-mail.
