Problem with adding material to polygons..

Hi,

I'm pretty new with Cheetah, but I've played around with it for some weeks now.
Now however I have this weird problem. I can't seem to add material to some polygons. I select the different polygons, and drag the material to those, but the material wont "stick"...

And another thing, I'm modeling a cabin and I've turned the specular size up for some of the materials I'm using. This however makes the model completely black while in edit mode, and the working with the model is really hard. Is there anything to do with this?

Try putting the object in edit mode and doing a split with all polys selected. This will, in effect, make a copy of the object, but may allow you to add the materials to it, as you want. This is, of course, a workaround.

As far as the blackness, I've never understood the point of having the camera light off in the 3D viewport, even when the camera light is actually turned off. It's the one place that you will likely need it most. In your case, you can turn it on until you're done modeling.
