Hi Judy, I can't figure the ball that won't erase but as far as the balls not being included: If you have strings of small balls, like a tentacle, try setting the face size smaller. If the face size is too large, smaler details will get lost as the large faces can't accomodate the smaller radius. Try setting face size very very low, generate your mesh and either set simplify mesh to "on" or use Yost Optomize after running mshape. Another thing to look at is the fusion value. Try using green and yellow for the overall shape and save red for those critical details ( little bunps and nuances). The higher fusion of these bumps will help "draw out" those details. Lee
