I have made a pine tree in metasequoia but when i put it in a level it is invisaible or something. Also, when texturing the 'sheets' of polygons only seem to have 1 side. Can I change this or do i have to put the same sized sheet polygon on the back?

The rectangles and triangles always have 1 side. The engine calculates this. There is an order of how the vertices must be to view it. It goes from the top-left, top-right, bottom-right and bottom-left. That side is visible and the other side won't. If you rotate the model you must put these faces again using the same order (it will be the other way since you are working on the other side now).

I hope this helps you, cause this is hard to explain. But you can't make the faces double sided in strpix.
