Re: Help with 1 sided surfaces
The 1s button makes your object one sided;... the outside.
The 2s button makes your object 2 sided; the outside and the inside. If it is your intention to make a one FACE cube then use the rect or a mesh, and not a cube. If it is your intention to make a cube with 6 independant sides then create 6 rects or 6 meshes. Hope this helps.

Re: Help with 1 sided surfaces
Be careful - 2 sided surfaces are not free. The computer has to keep track of the additional surfaces, and if you export - some formats do not like 2 sided surfaces.
Have fun. Art |

Yes, best to just learn to use 1 sided from the start, less to unteach yourself later.

Re: Help with 1 sided surfaces
Correct. A cube with one-sided faces should look exactly like a cube with 2-sided faces unless you are viewing it from standing inside the cube.
