Greetings! I'm still pretty new at all this; I've been concentrating on getting P4 into Vue, and having fun, and all, but I have been putting off learning Vue. Now I'm ready to start constructing the first street scene. I'm wondering how to go about creating a street object. Textures won't be a problem, though. How do I create a street form? That is, sidewalks raised above the actual street... And intersections. I figure to make "panels" for a sort of "assemble them yourself" thing. Would I start with a flat surface, and then do a boolean operation to lower the street surface below the sidwalk surface? Perhaps I ought to create these pieces outside Vue -- wings3D, maybe. Any thoughts suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Norm
