Gary: <sounds like you're using the "prefix" option with two completely different objects> That's how I read David's note also. So, I'll just chime in and add a thought: In the documentation there is some discussion as to what shapes slice better than others. David, you'll see that meshes can be kept very simple, and given sufficent levels on the path, slice&dice very well. The skinning paramenters can be adjusted to "compensate" for lack of mesh detail. Also, check out leaving the start cap and end cap off. [hey, while I'm at it, might as well say how much fun slicing, skinning and animating the results are… want an amorphous globule of transparent noisy liquid splaterring? No problem… under an hour and animated] Jeffrey (it's getting better all the time) L
