If you want to send an AC3D file, with textures, to someone, try these steps:

1. Copy the textures to the same directory as the .ac model.

2. In AC3D, make sure the textures on the model point to the textures in the same directory/folder as the file. If your model is in a "my_model" directory, the AC3D texture should also be in the "my_model" directory. Look under the Object -> Texture menu, and you should see a list of the textures being used in your document -- they should all be in the same directory as the model. If not, reassign your textures to point to the textures in the model directory (for example, select the object(s) and do an Object -> Texture -> Load Texture to load the texture in "my_model").

3. Zip up the model and textures.

That should do it. Wherever you put the model and textures now, the textures should be intact as long as they're in the same directory/folder as the model.

Let us know if you have more problems.
