Dennis, Sorry for taking so long to get back with you. Just returned from a few days in Detroit. As you know, no one sat down and decided that the industry should make surface modelers more difficult to master than solid modelers. It just evolved that way. Envision a relatively complex part in your mind. Would it be tougher to define a skin that fits perfectly on the surface of the part or would it be easier to "carve" the part using a combination of Boolean operations? Most engineers prefer the latter technique. Terry
