Thanks for the idea. Can I assume that the "hull" object functions as a template in the shaper, or can I work with it somehow in the Editor and use slice to generate cross sections? I make and import almost all of my ogranic objects from Animation Master, and have a large number of insects and creatures already built. I'd like to find a way to skin them in 3DS. These are DXF's. If you have other ideas on how to rescue them I would be a happy hacker. Thanks, Sanford
