Wow bloodsong-- I've been confronted by the exact same urge and problem already a few times; I want a distant city skyline, but I don't want to take all that time, ya know? So, I figure, well one of these days I'll get around to arranging a mess of blocks just right and then save that as a model.... But thanks---this is trememndous news! And yes, this idea will be the new challenge. :) Cheers, Mike
