P.S. I realize I might have given a wrong (and overly ambitious) impression of my needs. I do not necessarily need to animate the extrusion – what I really need is a still picture of the modelled component with the appropriate colored materials – a flyby might be nice, but watching it extrude is not necessary. So this is a MODELLING question, not an animation question (let's not make it any harder than necessary). thanks again, for any hints] Dennis
