Thanks again Dave. I appreciate your kind comments.

I throw these together in a very ad hoc manner so I realize they are not very polished and I stutter and stall a lot searching for the right things to say since I do all this on the fly, but hopefully they will be useful to someone.

I have made a note that I should spend a bit more time explaining things like when I use shift-D (duplicate with translation) since the new users can't see what I am pressing and things just seem to magically duplicate and move around (smile).

Please let me know if there is anything I can do to improve.

I am thinking that this thread should probably be moved to the "maya basic and newbie" forum since it's more instructional then WIP.
