I was hoping I could think of a way to do this but so far haven't. I need to create some negative space in a figure--like in the middle of the chest--I was hoping that I could make a sphere negative and the figure positive (like booleans) and group them and it would work. I've done lots with booleans before but never tried it with other figures. I suspected it wouldn't work--and it didn't. Does anyone have any other ideas? If not, all of this will have to be done in PSP post. Diane B
