Whew...'wipes the sweat from his brow'...thanks a whole heap stwert and Jay. I bout fainted when that university told me that. It was really hard to swallow but being willing to "go with the flow" I was prepared to start doing everything in NURBS. I'm soooooooo relieved it's not like that. I'll take your advice and start learning how to do things with NURBS too in order to become a more well rounded modeler. As you said 3ddon, we prefer working with polys.

I was always wondering about naming conventions but it sounds like as long as everything is named in a way that reflects what it is, it's okay, unless a standard is issued from another department, etc.

Very helpful..tyvm
