- I'm having the geometry viewer display a GEOM_POLYHEDRON geometry of a
- double headed arrow:
- / \
- /|______|\
- / \ (wow, with ascii graphics like this, why use AVS?;^)
- \ ______ /
- \| |/
- \ /
-
- When I set the render mode to "lines", I observe the expected result in
- the geometry viewer window: I see an outline of a double headed arrow.
-
- HOWEVER, when I set the render mode to "no_light", I don't get a solid
- double headed arrow like I want. I get something like this:
-
- / /\
- /|___ / \
- / \
- \ ____ /
- \ / |/
- \/ /
-
-
- How can I get a solid double headed arrow like I want? I've tried other
- rendering modes but I don't get a solid double headed arrow.
-
- Thanks.
