I'd like to be able to create an object that was only part facer.

Example: A modeled tree trunk with facer(s) for the clumps of leaves.

Currently if any part of an object is a facer, the whole thing is.

I would suggest only doing this with Truespace scene files (*.scn) This
would avoid creating bugs in older objects.

You want 2.2 features back - and I agree.

It definitely allowed nicer plants and flower beds
having this feature.

It had been a clump-wise setting, no incompatibility
problems would occur to have this back in the same way.

Facers had to be implemented in AW, because they were removed from RenderWare. Unfortunately, only an extremely simplistic facer functionality was added. Yes, I agree that nore facer options should be added, but I disagree with the idea that it should only be in trueSpace objects. In fact, since AW already has it's own extensions to the RenderWare scripting language, it would make even more sense to further extend the language to allow more flexible objects with control over which axes align to what. For example, strange effects could be made by setting something like Align Y=-yaw, or Align X=pitch Z=roll, or Align X=FaceX, or perhaps "Align Sprite to just keep the object's "front" always facing the screen head-on.
