I agree. Autodesk folks are sensitive to the speed question, though, because for a while AutoCAD had the image of being powerful but ponderously slow. Now I rarely hear that criticism, thanks to hardware improvements and code refinements. .. Let's encourage Autodesk programmer's to go for the feature's that add realism to the renderings. .. I'd also like the idea of the camera and movie analogy to be extended to the objects in the shade rendering file. We should abandon the idea that we need to keep going back to the AutoCAD drawing to make adjustments in the camera path or give movement to elements of the model. Hopefully some extension of the block concept can be added to Autoshade so we can move objects while in Autoshade as "actors" and "props". Also, as far as I can figure it out, maybe a "filmroll" really should be called a "set". .. Wishfully yours, .. Lansing "Cecil B" Pugh
