>> we, or at least, I, was hoping to find a magic wand to assemble limbs in bone figures without getting "Star Wars action figure/Barby/ GI Joe" type joint lines… perhaps a way to tighten up the skin to lessen the discontinuity… << Denny, This can be achieved to some degree by adding faces between cross-sections, but it's not the cure-all. You'd have to use SMOOTH EDGE LINE quite a bit to do this. For instance, as a test I converted a 6 sided sphere to a perfect 24 sided sphere by using fracture on the object a couple of times, and then SMOOTH EDGE LINE for each cross-section. However, no matter how you slice it, <g>, it's pretty much a manual thing for now. -GreG
