there was an aztec-like pyramid that came with Bryce on the extras CD - don't know if that would help or not. Jade

you would use Bryce's multi-replicate feature - I'll send you some links to some tuts - it's kind of hard to explain - at least for me Jade

If this is the effect your after use mulit replicate. (Edit/muti-replicate) 1.First model your first step. 2.Select the step. 3.Click on Edit, then Step. 4.Enter the values for the ofsets you want. In my example I use a z and y value slightly less than the dimentions of the step and 0 for x. Make sure the x y z size values are set at 100% and zero for the rotate, unless you want spiral stairs. theFOG

Just a thought here, many indians lived in cliff dwellings and you have the making of that. Choose a rock from bryce and make it a negative. Make your mountain a positive and group them. Transfer material and keep out the greenery. Then put some bricks in the cave. Make it elaborate and use the terrain to make your steps. Have fun. Heh, what a great idea, I think I'll do some cave dwellings myself. LOL.

Also, Aztecs did not live that close to the sea. They never had their cities that close because of maurading or invading forces. They were always in the jungles or mountains. Just look at Teotihuacan (which actually is Myan). That is about 650 miles from the sea in the middle of a plain. Or Matchu Pitchu whis is on top of a mountain. Just to let you know. Tankred

Was it the Aztecs or the Mayans who were famous for their stepped farming..

It was the Myans. The Chinese are too! Tankred
