    Hi

    I have combined a bunch of 3d solid shapes (that are unioned), 'A' objects,
    together and then placed additional smaller 'B' objects inside these shapes
    (unioned also). I attached a glass material to objects A and did a render
    in Paperspace and everthing shows up good. where A is transparent and I can
    see B...but when I go to plot.... 'A' objects don't show up, only 'B'
    objects. I checked for a Frozen Layer but its not...what's wierd is it
    shows up when I render....

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks

  2. Bill,

    In Options on the System tab under Properties for Current 3D Graphics
    Display make sure acceleration is set to software not hardware.
