The video camera is ALWAYS home at times like that. Must have been intense. Congrats. My wife and I spent a very rainy day in a large park hereabouts, when most sane persons are indoors, and were able to watch a fox for many minutes as it stalked some very fat woodchucks. It was tres cool. I didn't even know we *had* foxes around here. I got the conversion of DEM -> DXF to work just fine. I used Photostyler, which does not allow saving as a GIF (grrr), but output the grayscale as a PCX, took it into Animator Pro and saved as a GIF from there. Now I just need to experiment with the Z parameter of GIFDXF to get approximate elevations to what VistaPro has. I also had to tesselate the landscape (I imported just a portion of it) in order to see it in the Editor when working at all closely. That will slow me down, slightly, in redraws, etc. but I'll delete it in the final rendering and it will allow me to place my structures in the right places, so – I'm happy! D {happy, happy, joy, joy} T P.S. I think "holler" means you drink beer 'till you're really stupid, then make sweeping gestures and statements at the top of your voice, heavily punctuated with epithets and threats directed at whomever crosses your mind (or what remains of it) at the moment.
