rendering issue

[sky]

i'm having big problems trying to get this to render properly. here are some of jpgs of what happens. first two are what it looks like alone. After i copy + paste it into my new file and position it properly it looks like the second two. All the other objects are hidden in the second rendering. Anyone know why this happens?

 

btw it was first modeled in rhino

 

Any help is appreciated...

it could be a nurbs/faceted problem, or a smooth rendering problem, or maybe the normals are reversed combined with something else.

 

if you wouldn't mind posting the file, i could probably help you better.

either delete everything in the file except the suspect piece, and i will tey to copy and paste it into a new file, or post the zip file to a web space elsewhere, and link to it.

My original file was much smaller than my sat file so i'm posting the original.

 

Thank you for all the help!
