I was waiting for this topic to come back around. First off thanks for all the help and tips but Wendy what do you mean by this first one? What exactly should one do with the entire upper right section?
Thanks

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.Wendy Lee Welton

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.Dennis Gavin CR, CKBR
