hi mate, thanks for the reply, i just noticed the thread posted not that long ago about "no RMB options?" or somthing like that and stwert mentioned the preferences had probably been changed so i just renamed it, and it created the new preferences when i reopened maya, thanks for the info tho!I think you are see the front face in wire mode with back face culling on, try pressing the 5 button then go to panel shading and untick backface culling. If that does not work get back to us.............dave
