Re: Re: Re: Missordered panels

It looks like some of the panels are just colored red at this point. 
Zooming in, you can see the inner shell and the red outside panels seem 
to just be red panels, not the red inside panels showing through. Since 
you have so many close vertices, this may be easier if you model the 
outside wall separate from the inside wall. Then, you can set a color 
for the entire outside wall, then set a separate color for the entire 
inside wall. This will also make it easier to troubleshoot where any 
panel breakthroughs are coming from, and you can lock the two objects 
together using a parent or by joining (once you're finished making both 
objects perfect).

Also, its a good idea to keep the model within the modeling grid if you 
can, it took me a few minutes to find the camera due to the scale. Since 
it's all vector, you can zoom in and model a smaller object, and keep 
the stage small enough that lamps and cameras and empties and all that 
are a good size so that you don't lose them. :)
