> I have some 3do's that are halfway in one sector and halfway in another. One of the sectors is underwater and the other is above water. From underneath the water I can see the whole 3do. from above i can see nothing(i can walk on it though). Any ideas why this happens?

Offhand sounds like you need to move the item completely into one sector or the other (JUST BELOW the 'edge' of the sector is fine)then cleave the surrounding sector in such a way as to make a new sector that completely surrounds the 3do on all sides.


I've found this is also a major cause of HOM problems.

your prob. not getting homs because of the view shifting when you look thru a water sector.

to wit..general rule of thumb is to always place a 3do completely within a sector.

also, with the new JED, if you cant find a 3do that 'fits' what/where you need..make one with Jed..Ive been doing this and it kicks butt!

Its really really easy too.
