I'm not a 3DS user, but I think that the principles might be similar... just have to find the equivalent commands. I work in LW. :o) After modeling a single beltloop, I would create an open curve (or spline) based on the waist of the trousers. Then I would execute a rail clone command with a set number of instances. I'd be happy to post a ffew screen grabs of how this can be achieved with LW if you are interested. Hope this helps somehow. :o) We can only hope that a 3DS modeler will pitch in on this thread and give you some real help. Cheers! M
