The modelling may be easy with Imagine, but the animation is damnear impossible! After 3 days (full days) of trying to get a simple path that goes from +y to -y (i.e. a line) in the top view with an object whose front is facing in the -y, and have the object align to path going "forward" down the -y (i.e. comingout of the screen at ya) I have concluded that it is not possible because path directions cannot be changed easily. Also, the 180 deg rotation put on the added point win a split segment operations makes NO SENSE WHATSOEVER!!! It appears basically that you must already know how the objets are goint to move before you build them due to limitations on paths and object alignments to the paths. Very poor and "unfreindly" if you ask me. wmc
