Ahhhh, This is beginning to make sense for an explosion that has many elements within the EXPLODE box, however, I still don't understand why if you have a single element (built via booleans) of say 256 faces inside of the EXPLODE box and you have MIN/MAX both set to 256, why this single element will get blasted into various triangles. Whereas if you have a single G-sphere of 256 faces as the element in the EXPLODE box, this item will remain intact. Regardless, at this point it doesn't matter anymore; we've used a different method…. I'm just curious (if you can discuss it), will the K-Frame scripting in R4 be able to handle this type of motion for a group of objects/instances? Judging from the feature lists, etc., I would suspect it can. If it can, I humbly accept the challenge…. Later, -Jeff
