I would like to make just one last comment, to all who have posted here, Thank you so much for giving me food for thought. I will definitely try to take all your suggestion to heart. If any one has an idea on how to make panels that would run horizontal on a sphere that you can scale to different sizes I would really love to here from you. Im not apposed to trying texturing or bump maps I just havent found or been able to create the correct ones for my designs yet. Again you have all been great!!! Thank you, David ;-)
