-* '''CAStability:''' Remeshes of original TS3 items must have at least the same number of recolourable parts as the originals unless you have a very good reason to reduce the number of channels.  Objects should be made as versatile as possible with the channel options, and the location of the channels should make sense.  "Fixed" or "unrecolourable" textures (that is textures which are not changeable in Create-a-Style) should be offered as an additional option, not as the only option.

 * '''CASt Presets:''' Use appropriate materials for your CASt presets - e.g. a dining chair with a cushion should not be all wood. Please also try to avoid clashing or blinding colours.
