inverting Clone inverts Original ??? Software: Away3D 4.x

drbii, Member Posted: 27 August 2014 02:32 PM Total Posts: 72 Is this typical? I made a clone of a mesh and want to invert it’s faces to use as the inside of the mesh. When I invert the clone the original mesh is inverted as well. How do you avoid this??? `away3dView.scene.addChild(L1L2Discnurb); var L1L2Discnurb_inside:Mesh = L1L2Discnurb.clone() as Mesh; MeshHelper.invertFaces(L1L2Discnurb_inside); L1L2Discnurb_inside.scale(.95); L1L2Discnurb.addChild(L1L2Discnurb_inside);`

You do not need then to have 2 meshes.
