We are using (5) vertical panel frames in our show this year. Each is 6'x12'. We have photographic image panels on the front side representing the theme of our show. We also have mounted panels of an American Flag stretched out across the (5) panels, so that when the frames are rotated, the flag replaces the photographs.

Is there any way to simulate this in Pyware. I know how to create the props. I know how to rotate and move them. Is there any way to change the graphics on the panels, mid-drill?

Yes, but you need Version 9.

If you have this, you can turn them into a "Propformer," basically a performer wearing a giant prop. Said propformer then rotates using the facing tool to reveal the new side.

PS--Be absolutely sure you're following the US Flag Code ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Flag_Code ). I know of lots of competitions where a violation is an automatic disqualification.

Standard props can have 2 independent sides, however you cannot change the image mid show. You will have one image on side one and one image on side two.

To do this you would name the front image prop.front.png and for the back you would name it prop.back.png. Then select the front image in the choose image option, the software will locate the back image if it is in the same location and apply it to the prop automatically.
