      I am developing a model and it appears that some surfaces are transparent when I really do not want them to be. I need to understand what I am doing wrong.
      Heart Model.png
      As you look at the image, notice that the text at the bottom of the heart as actually on the back side (this is a 3D model) so I should not be able to see that text when viewing from the top. If I look from the other side (bottom) you can see the text that is on the top face.

      I have also been having s little bit of a problem placing text on the top and bottom surfaces.

      Press F1...thank me later

        If you have accidentally pressed K then back-edges might be 'on'.
        Try pressing K again to toggle them 'off' ...

          Thanks @tig that solved my problem. What is the K key used for?
