Hello,

As simple as this question seems, I couldn't find the answer in the help file or by playing around. I did it once before but can't seem to get it to work again.

Thanks.

Since this particular forum isn't application specific, please always remember to state which program you are referring to.

In the display panel uncheck "backface cull".
Or just apply a standard material with the "doublesided" option checked.
There are numerous ways to do it :)

By 'double-sided' I assume you mean '2-sided'? That doesn't work for me. But the backface cull is a good idea! That's probably how I did it before. Thanks for reminding me!
