Darrin, >>not much room left in my pea-sized brain to hold any more application info.<< I know what you mean about trying to keep the SW sorted, in limited grey matter. I've been reviewing graphic and CAD SW for a while now and even my _mouse_ can't remember what it is supposed to do<g>. It is really amazing to see all of this stuff marketed to the general user. When you get into programs that are as inately complex as this category, SERIOUS study is required. With the prices coming into the reasonable zone, every Johnny Homeowner gets one to play with. Makes one wonder how many of those boxes are actually being used productively. On the other hand, it also makes the client who has "tried this at home" more appreciative of what the professional has accomplished. >>I thought that the ones that came with the program to be too simplistic for rendering.<< I think this might be a real good use for the VISSOFT library here on CIS. I'm sure that every one has modeled objects for their own use in these situations, so why not pass them on? DXFs zip up real tight so there would be minimal connect charges. A .TXT/.WRI file should be included with source program, scale info, and a copyright notice for those who would poach for resale. Like objects could be zipped into one file with the CIS description clearly listing the contents. I think it would be interesting to see where my stuff might turn up. Regards, Robb
