My slab is half transparent!!

Have a strange problem with my slab.
I have a line through the slab at some strange angle and on one side the
slab is visible and on the other it is not. Only the slab edges are are visible like in wireframe 3d view.
I tried tweaking the controls in materials settings and changing the material to see if that was doing it. Nope. Next I tried changing it's elevation and back again. I did a save. It's very strange. I've seen this before like several years ago but it fixed itself.

See attached jpg image - maybe not, I tried 3 times progressively smaller jpg still to big ugh

Do I need to delete it and draw it in again?

Best,

Jonathan

Can you post a screenshot?
Does the problem present itself with both the OpenGL Engine and the Internal 3D Engine?

no problem with the Internal engine, the slab is there and reads correctly.
OpenGL is where it's doing it.

I have tried a dozen diff. ways to try to attach a screen shot and all I get is:

The Attachment/Image must be less than 1600 pixels wide and 1200 pixels high

Am in the 3d window and doing a "save as" jpg:
I'v tried the marquee around just a slab edge.
I'v tried adjusting the quality in "jpg options" to gray scale and yada yada...

If you have an email I can send that way?
Let me try a word doc..

Okay, I was able to fix it by magic wanding a new slab and deleting the old.

What the heck is the problem with attaching a jpg to our posts?
I have no problem in other forums!!

Thanks, Laszlonagy

There is a 256kB limit on images as well as the pixel size limits. Ridiculous.
