stu thanks for the compliment, coming from you... I am humbled that you like it. It helps that I have a few scraps of reference plans lying around here. Baz you are probably right, my friend. I'm not sure all this detail is needed for the animation, and I am positive it won't be healthy for it. The entire library is less than 25,000 polygons (in LWO format) and each vertical section of books is less than 3,000 polygons. Not too heavy, I think. And if I create them as layers per vertical section, they can then be toggled on and off in the animation as required by each shot. Cheers! M
