Thank you - good info.
1) Rudy, Very nice, had not seen this (  http://www.anim8or.com/smf/index.php/topic,5281.0.html ) So did you finish the explanation?
2) ENSONIQ5, good description. This is what you told me the best: " move both parent and child in a single frame you are moving both the child's reference AND the child's position relative to that reference ". Therefore if I move both together say 5 units, the child moves 5 with the parent and 5 with-respect-to (wrt) the parent, so the child moves 10 units. 

What was distracting me was the version (0981) didn't have the child under the parent in MODE>Scene, timeline. The latest beta version (1185) has the child under the parent.
Thank You

Re: Need help - Color
« Reply #16 on: October 10, 2015, 11:10:38 am »

Now using Build 1185
Next problem, Added color in MODE>Object, using MATERIAL EDITOR>Surface Properties>Two Sided. Looks as expected in OBJECT. BUT only with RENDER>RENDERER...>Scanline. But NOT with ART and OpenGL, they don't set different colors on each side.

Is that normal?
Thank you

yep - not sure about OpenGL, but that's definitely normal for ART.
