Yes, of course you're right. My mistake!. I'm in the right place, I meant to say AC3D. I don't even use AutoCAD, TurboCAD is my preferred CAD tool. Those AutoDesk guys have brainwashed me!

Well, as I said, it shows up correctly in ClearviewRC. My texture file is JPG, which I don't think has an alpha channel. It's a puzzler.
Thanks very much for your quick reply and help!
