Thank you.. That sounds way complicated. I have it working albeit in a "rigged" fashion. I may do this later and will hang onto this post for future reference. I was thinking that this might just be a "you didn't click this right" or " you missed this step" kind of issue.  But it sounds like a rebuild to get it into the right geometry orientation.....
