Hi Thanks guys. On lathe I will try though if you follow manual way control/command (whatever) it brought up a list of unrelated tasks. Will try again though. Regarding the memory Running Carrara on Mac 9.1 with 1gb of ram and no other software. No conflicts found. Want it to work but.... It also has annoying habit of triangulating various meshes on import. At least RDS on a G3 is fine. I guess we will stick with that for now. Thanks again.
