Hi and thank you to all vpython developers and forum-participants. I discovered that compounding objects to which textures have been applied results in a failure of the program to execute.

In Web VPython 3.2, the error is pointed out upon execution with the following error message:

"Error: Currently objects in a compound cannot have their own texture."

However, when I execute the program locally with vpython 7.6.4, the error is not pointed out. The program just fails to execute. Maybe this has already been corrected in vpython 7.6.5? If so, I apologize for the redundancy of this post.
