It will be used as a standard pavement drain....street....basement....dungeon....shower stall. I can change the size as needed as long as it doesn't facet out on me when enlarging (assuming it is designed small at the onset). To keep it simple, you can prep it with the grate down into position and zeroed out so I can just prop it into position as needed and adjust the grate to accomodate whatever my nasy heart desires coming through it! :) Yeah the hole pipe as you have it here is ok and you can also leave the ground plane if small. I can either make it transparent as needed or use it as a steel face plate say for a wall mounting. In the event I use it as a wall mount...is there an thickness to the pavement plate? Seperate UVs are very cool. It will be more versatile texturing all the different parts! YEah! I am stoked. Can't wait 'till its ready! THANKS!!!! BTW I LOVE YOUR AVATAR Looks like Alfred E. Newman (I think that was his name).....the face of MAD Magazine!.
