      I'm adding an image with ruby using "entities.add_image" and the image appears 2 sided.
      Is it possible to make image appear only on one side and the other side should be just a default color, or same as backface color.

        Add the Image inside a new empty group group.entities rather than the model...
        Manipulate the Image size etc as desired
        Explode the Image.
        You now have a face inside the group.entities
        Find the face in the entities - there's only one.
        Leave the face.material as it is [i.e. the image now made into a texture].
        Make face.back_material=nil to use the 'default back material' or say use face.back_material="Black" to make it 'black'... πŸ€“

          That did it!
          Genius, TIG!!
