Dan, When I get annoyed with it, I switch over to single-shot verts, and turn off the surface painter. That is exactly what I do. Another annoyance is when you try to add a vert about a foot from a line, and it places it 3 or 4 feet away instead. I see that a lot too. I agree. The painter can save a...

Linkster, I think it is somewhat related to the slope of the terrain where the verts are being added; It happens to me when I am adding the green contours as well as on the slopes. :rant: I have never knowingly used the edge collapse before, but I will give it a try when next time. Thank you, :tipha...

Pete,
To get the vert count:

Perhaps after I finish Gozzer Ranch, I will spend some time on trying to modify an existing 3D object ...

I have just upgraded my laptop from W10 to W11 because I thought it may solve a problem I had, - it didn't. With W10, Links worked perfectly using the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti, but after upgrading Links would only select the Intel UHD Graphics and as a result I had no sky. I have spent 2-3 hours t...

Pete,

There is an "All in Wonder" entry in the VideoCard.txt file (in the "ATI" section). Maybe the code in your DXDIAG.txt file is there, too.

This is double dutch to me.

Do I need to do anything, or would you like me to check something?
