D@M: Wheels like this were made in castings ie: cast iron. This gave an almost organic feel to them, with one part 'flowing' into another. I couldn't get prims to behave like that.

Besides, I think it's important that we all learn how metaballs work. The trick, if you can call it that, is to use about ten times more m/balls than you  might at first think, but even a single, small metaball can make a heck-of-a difference - as I've recently found out.

What would help is if I could get a negative object to interact with a positive metaball. So if anyone knows if this is possible..............?

To date I have used metaballs to create the handrail on the front door of the smokebox and the rim around the bottom of the smokestack.

Thanks for looking, taking an interest and for your comments!

OH! And you cover my loco with ivy and I'll strangle your ass.........:lol:
