    Lemme try and get the obvious stuff out of the way, so the gurus don't have to later...

    The wall goes all the way up to the ceiling? There's no cracks peering through?

    Is the material two-sided? I've had those kinds of problems with one-sided materials.

    HTH (a bit).

    Glad I could help! Unless I'm mistaken (and please correct me if I am), I believe A&D materials are already two-sided, hence the lack of a problem with them.

    I have always driven my walls "into" the ceiling and have never seen that problem, single-sided materials would do that though. Can anyone tell me why they dropped single sided materials? They did have a place.

    This may be slightly off topic, but fyi turn on "mirror" in your material editor's tile feature to get rid of the "blocks" of wood flooring.

    I've been forced to use 2009, so I haven't used 2010 as much as I'd like, but... they dropped single-sided materials? Really? They certainly did have a place!
