Never mind....just learned the difference between a one-sided and double-sided polygon. :)

Hi,

I'm just starting out and already I've hit a road block. Whenever I select a primitive such as a cube and attempt to drag it, I just get a black four segment wireframe that has no grey plane. In practically ever video I've watched, the user clicks and drags out a rectangle with a grey plane. I'm viewing it under Advance Open GL, so it's not in wireframe. I can extrude the segments out, but it bothers me that I don't get a nice grey plane when I drag out. Would anyone care to share their expertise?

Thanks:)
