Thanks for the quick response!  It's very much appreciated...

I've attached a part of one of my postings here.  As you can see, the tree behind the figure has a "hump" in the trunk.  Usually, I sink the tree deep enough to cover the hump or make a terrain mesh to act as a "sleeve" over the affected area.  But, I would like to use the whole tree and not have to apply a "sleeve".

Thanks!

The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' (I found it!) but 'That's funny ...'
