    Larry,

    By this I meant that all the settings in the upper right are important, and that learning what they are, how they affect your work, will go a long ways towards editing happiness.

    The Help menu and manual explain them, so I didn't go into detail. It's also important to try each of these settings and compare your experience to what Help and the manual say.

    It would take more words than even I can spit out to cover those settings in a way that replaces this combination of reading and personal testing.

    That said - if you, or anybody else, does both and has more questions, I'd be happy to try and answer them - and I'm sure others would also.

    I wrote code in 1984 to make my Sinclair 100 - so I used to be a programmer! So I can say with authority how easy it is to program Chief features! ;-)

    presentation technique

    In the attached shot there is a symbol made from a 3D molding polyline and and polyline solid. (behind the towels) I made the symbol so I could resize the tiled border and the wall in conjunction with the glass live in front of the client so they could determine which "look" they liked best. Beats having 2-3 versions of the same thing. The border does get a little stretched but it makes for easy decision making when live with the client.
    If I were good with stretch planes the stretching probably wouldn't be an issue.
