Yes, I have worked with the moveable axis method last night and it does work very well for 2D scaling from one It's probably just me but I have no idea why it works as the term "axis" would seem to relate only to a rotation function. But it does work and it saved me quite a bit of work Question: I have noted that a flic file I created was reduced by about 50% when I changed the walls (its the interior of a house) from blue wireframe to white matte. I was surprised that the file size would be reduced that much.Does the wireframe to solid change reduce the file size simply because the machine does not have to draw the otherwise hidden lines? Also: is the rendering time of a frame affected by the amount of objects in that particular frame? Example: If I have a scene with many objects, will the rendering time be different for a wide view and a close-up view (of just one object) ? Alec Jason
