Michael- You are absolutley right, not everything written by Autodesk is bug free (Right now I am pulling my hair out on some paper space features). I am sure you can just use Acad to create models that can be imported into 3D Studio; but I do know that it is alot easier to create solids with AME, and import them into Studio using visual link. There is no conversion of faces or anything which makes for a faster smoother transition. For strictly creating 3D geometry without gads of interlinking lisp routines that some 3rd party menu systems offer, it seems that in my experience AME is the quickest, simplest, inexpensive way to get quick, accurate 3D geometry into Studio, and into presentation. My statement about "…just a light" was too extreme a statement, and I did not mean to offend you <g>. I am talking about complex architectural models rather than extruded floor plans. Cheers- Joe
