Cool, Varian, thanks for the tip. Steve, yeah, I'm sure you're right--- the manual even says to do so before grouping, but I think Bloodsong's right too; that you can open the group and select all the individuals with ctrl+click and then drop and expect them all to rest happily on the surface of whatever they're over at the time. Again, Varian, now, I remember this being brought up at the Vue list, but i had forgotten the details, so I'll be trying out what you say-- it certainly makes sense! And yes, I've seen that you have to re-enter the numbers for duplicates, after I was experimenting with this and sudenly noticed in the World Browser that I had like 70 maple trees, after only a few "duplicate" commands! ...... Now, for another technical question: The real world has like what, about 11 miles from any given point to the horizon that you can see on a clear day, right? Does Vue hold true to this? I've noticed there is a certain point along the Y axis away from the camera where an object will disappear over the horizon. But, does Vue handle this mathematically correctly? And if so, what's its' basis for measurement? For example, say you knew a coconit tree was 60 feet tall and turned it on it's side. 11 x 5,280 = 58,080 feet. 58,080 dividede by 60 feet = 968. So, assuming the coconut tree measurement was "correct" in terms of Vue's measurements, could I expect to make 968 copies of it and lay them ened to end and have the final one disappear over the horizon? BTW, these measurements are probably arbitrary--- I'm not sure of the exact distance to the horizon, and I suppose that would only apply at sea level anyway...
