Hello!
When I load the universe.dbo file into a standard DBPro program, and set the Cull to 1 so it should NOT render polygons that it cannot see, it does.
Now, not changing anything in the code except to point to a different DBO file, say AI.dbo, it works fine.
Is this a bug or my misundertanding? I'm hoping it's my misunderstanding.
