Grafikdon, I hear ya! I have had some issues with Carrara, that many of the people on this forum have helped me out with, However there is some good news. I found a book a boarders book store, Called Carrara 1 Bible. It's AWSOME, though it shows off all the features to the program, it has some good information on the modeler, that that silly assed manual only mentions. The Books ISBN number is 0-7645-3375-4 Now mind you this book does not cover the 1.1 upgrade issues, but it works hands down.. Just some food for thought, there is also a "Carrara 1 for Dummies" book but I have not got that yet. hope that helps Blacksteel
