I agree that shortest or "best" path isn't necessary for my needs - just A decent path is more than good enough. More useful would be the ability to affect the smoothness of paths/number of waypoints - so that one could make mechanical things "clunkier" (perhaps) while organics might tend to turn more smoothly, if you follow. As always when one of these python gurus develops a script with the users... exciting times! Cheers, Cliff
