@alpro said: I would just start with a circle with however many segments you needed, which would depend on how closely the model is gonna be viewed. The view below was zoomed in pretty close, the more that you move the view out the less noticable the difference between the two circles is. Mike That might be the best way - Hey, If I'm already striping 6 segments why not 48. Once I cook it all in Podium it will probably look just fine. UPDATE EDIT: Here's how I finally did it... DREW a 16 segment circle - PULLED to 4" - Turned on GEOMETRY to determine vertical segments. Used LINE DRAW to bisect each of the 16 Segments. GROUPED, COPIED and PASTED on top - ROTATED to line up stripes. COPIED these two and placed on top - REPEATED until it was the height I wanted. MADE IT A COMPONENT. Edited and painted the stripes. Did a quickee PODIUM render and it looks okay. Thanks for the help.

Same problems, no solution despite trying everything. I'm going to uninstall and reinstall everything? Also, my Preferences > Extensions folder does not contain anything useful either. HELP!!
