Insert Mesh Causes Darkening of Model

[treddie]

Hello again.

Sorry for going through my newbie phase, but it seems I am always running into road blocks. Here is one that I can’t seem to solve. Whenever I try to add an Insert mesh (the pink base) on this model, whenever I release the mouse button, my original mesh texture gets very dark. Permanently. What stupid thing am I doing here?

When you add an insert mesh the subtool you add it to becomes masked, which is the way it is supposed to work. That way you can either click on the background to make the insert mesh part of the subtool, or hide/split it to become a separate subtool.

I see. That worked, dillster! Thanks for helping this newbie!
