			in Upspring, open this menu:
			Texture Mapping -> Show UV mapping -> Edit -> Flip UV

	~~[URL~~=~~http~~:~~//imageshack~~.~~us][img]~~http://img54.imageshack.us/img54/1278/problemga6.jpg~~[/img][/URL]~~		This page assumes you have a working knowledge of Spring unit creation, and will address some common pitfalls in creating s30 units.

			=Invisible Unit=
			'''Problem:'''
			Unit spawns projectiles, engine flare, and other fx, as well as functioning correctly, but the model is invisible at any view distance.

			'''Check:'''
			* That your s3o has both a radius and height set in Upspring.

			=Disappearing Unit=
			'''Problem:'''
			Unit operates correctly, including being visible at low zoom levels, but disappears at higher zoom levels, often leaving a small grey blob. Example:
			http://img54.imageshack.us/img54/1278/problemga6.jpg

			'''Check:'''
			* The reduction to grey blob is done by the LOD (Level Of Detail) process in spring. For 3do units, this nicely scales down a full 3d unit to a sprite as you scale out. For s3o, this doesn't work as nicely. There are two things you can do:
			** 1: Make sure your unit has a radius that reflect the model size accurately. The view distance at which LOD kicks in is proportional to unit radius.
			** 2: Make sure your LOD setting in Spring is high enough to actually display the unit correctly.
