I'm trying to create a floor with a plain representing each tile. Instead of having tons of objects, I thought it'd be better to make a mesh out of the first plain and just add each tile as a limb.

With my code I placed the first plain vertically (so no rotation) then made another one in a different location based off the mesh data, but for some reason one side of the plain is invisible. If you move past it and look from the other side, it is there. Here's my code:

+ Code Snippet

void initWorld()
{
	//Create a plain mesh
	dbMakeObjectPlain(fObj,tWidth,tHeight);
	dbMakeMeshFromObject(1,fObj);

	//Add a limb to main object
	dbAddLimb(fObj,1,1);
	dbOffsetLimb(fObj,1,tWidth,tHeight,0);
	dbRotateLimb(fObj,1,180,0,0);
	dbSetLimbSmoothing(fObj,1,100);

	//Set floor properties
	dbSetObjectWireframe(fObj,1);
	//dbRotateObject(fObj,90,0,0);
	dbTextureObject(1,1);
}

Is this a common problem and is there any way around it?

Planes are usually created with backface culling on so you need to use dbSetObjectCull()

Just out of curiosity, why are you not using dbMatrix for your floor? It's fast and very easy to use.....

The fastest code is the code never written.
