<p class="MsoNormal">What I found out is that, depending on what other actors I have in the scene, sometimes the glyphs are large and easily seen. Other times the glyphs are incredibly small. I would like to be able to have the sphere’s one size all of the
time (no matter what actors are in the scene). Any idea what I’m doing wrong?<o:p></o:p></p>
