Dear Brain, Thanks gor getting back to me about my question concerning problems I found in the IK tutorial. Any solutions so that I can use this tool effectively? Another question, this one concerning the Match Perspective tutorial: I sused the settings on page 21 of the manula after trying unsuccessfully to do the adjustments using my pointing device in the window. But even that did not work. If I enter the numbers in order, starting with the numbers for "Camera Absolute" and continue through "Target Absolute" the settings end up overriding each other so that what I originally entered for "Camera Absolute" ends up changed. So, unless there was a misprint of numbers, I found no way for it to accept all of these settings at once. Also I would like to have done it manually but the "suggestions" on the last part of page 19 gave me no real idea of how to do this. When I originally set up the horizon line as instructed, the building was pushed out of sight and other controls seemed to bring it back with either changed horizons and strange shapes, sizes or positions for the building. One thing that I have prized about Autodesk 3DS documentation in the past, is that the tutorials were my fail safe way for learning a new technique and re-learning it quickly when I hadnt used the feature for a long while. But – in order to to this – they have to be up to their usual bullet-proof standard and explain ALL the steps (at least for the first voyage by a user). Any and all help on resolving these issues would be greatly appreciated. As it now stands, half of the features of this release are unusable until I resolve this. Best Regards, Peter Nowell
