Kevin, What I am trying to show is a: two dimensional representation of two cars on a road in profile over approx 10 miles showing the change in elevation of the road and the relationship between the two cars. I am using keyscript to keyframe the motion of the car/ objects. I then want to use the path of one of the objects to model the road object presumably by extruding a polygon along the path created by keyscript. This path will have nodes for every frame, therefore I anticipate that the road will have a high polygon count ( being that it was modelled from the path of the car object. Do you follow my strategy here? I realize its a great deal of effort for what ammounts to a 2d animation but keyscript is so useful for translating postion data for every 30th of a second ( for approx 10 minutes). Please feel free to offer any suggestions based on what I have explained above. I realize its not a textbook reconstruction. Thanks for your interest Jeff
