Thanks for the advice. I will give it a try.
It does seem to be a very long road to put an image or a gradient on a surface and see it in 3D. I have no CAD training but I would have thought this should be an easy thing to do.
I can always use a projection screen and put an image on that. Then I would be wanting VW to play a video on it and then we have a whole new can of worms. Oops ! Forgot you can't play Video on any of the TV or Projection Screens
I was able to do this image and gradient stuff no problem ,years ago on Strata 3D. Maybe I am missing the obvious.
I am sure I will be back again with this one.
Thanks Guys
