You know I was joking...unfortunately it was quite late and after a night out of dancing....ooo...my head hurts, lol.

If you use the 'c' function, could you not export it, turn it into a 3ds in some other program and bring it back in or would that negate the Bryce factor?  Those bounding boxes have got to be confusing when they get too large.

I'm still interested in those pipes.  Mayhap I misused the word 'boolean'.  I can't see how to make them except with a zillion metaballs or using a tori/cylinder setup.  Pipes are something I always have to import from someone else's effort but if they can be made easily in Bryce, I'd rather do that.  At least I can be proud that I made it myself.  I suppose I could also go learn to use my hexagon2 (whisling smiley here)
