Spanki: "- Always keep in mind:  Children can affect their parents, but not thier grandparents or siblings."

 I'm the father of 4 daughters so I can say with authority that you are correct - mine made me lose my hair ..... oh wait, you were meaning with models [grin]

Seriously, you have explained the basic issues of joint editing quite well and your point about the joint angle and in particular the bar that should be pointing down - I've just spent a couple hours playing with falloff zones and several times I have thought I had it right only to change camera angle and discover there is still a problem [often a new one] that I simply couldn't see from the angle I had been looking [heh]  I think you might be right that the trouble is in that one little bar - it fits with what I've been seeing in terms of how the polys seem to be effected.  Anyway, I shall try going to that first and then play with the zones....

trav: Not to worry - by posting when you did you gave me a more productive path to follow - even if there were details missing, I believe I got closer than I would have and ultimately it will have helped me solvce this problem.

Mizrael: I started working on the center points before I finally came here for advice - it did help a lot [in fact it solved 2/3rds of the problems I had at first] but sadly it didn't solve everything - I sometimes think that if I had a 3D holographic monitor rather than working with perspective and all that perhaps I would be able to get these things right faster [heh]
