Hi again. When you create a box you can pick height segments and lenght and so on, but after you turn it to editable polygon, can you still change those stuff, and how or do I need to create a new one?

What program you using Zefar?

As a general rule, once you convert an object into an editable polygon it loses its original data so its no longer a cube, just an object.

Edit - just read what I posted, i didnt phrase it very well lol

Yeah its in 3D Max think its working. Thought draggin the scale of it down to 0.001 was such a good idea, working a lot now
