Greetings everyone

How come some corners and sides are invisible after creating an object?
Somethimes they are insvisible from the outside and visible from inside, and reverse.

Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks!

Hi there LionHeart, and welcome to these forums!

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying but perhaps you're talking about Culling here. In the statusbar, you can see the word Cull. Doubleclick on that word (or press F5, or go to the Options screen and deselect Culling) to enable or disable culling.

With culling enabled, DeleD will only render what is visible. A polygon only has one visible side. When culling is enabled, and the camera is looking at the backside of a polygon (for example, when you move the camera inside a cube, you're looking at the backsides of the polygons of that cube), DeleD won't render those polygons. If culling is disabled, DeleD will always render polygons, even if the camera is looking at the backside of those polygons.

That's because we use OpenGL lighting in the 3D views. The backsides of polygons do not receive light and are thus rendered black.

Do note that all good 3D engines have some form of culling implemented because it can really speed up the rendering process. Therefor it is usually best to leave culling enabled in DeleD too because it most resembles the way things are rendered inside an engine too.
