    Good stuff mike! You mentioned that auto-exposure is doing funky things? Is the image below using auto-exposure? If so, what does it look like without auto-exposure?

    @frascati I came here to find out how to form an elliptical cone, but didn't see a simple way. So I had to figure it out for myself. Yea, this is an old thread. I'm posting this here in the hope that someone else searching for the solution might find it. Draw a circle. Make a triangle with one point on the centre of the circle, one point on the edge, and the third point at the height you want the cone. Select the edge of the circle. Choose "Tools —> Follow Me" and click on the triangle's face. You should now have a circular cone. Choose "Tools —> Scale". A yellow box with green handles should appear. Click on the centre green handle on the vertical box of the selection that is in the dimension you want to make smaller to create your ellipse. Touch the modifier key that causes both sides to scale about the centre. On the Mac, that's the OPTion key. Move the cursor inward until you get the size of ellipse you want, or type a scale factor into the "Measurements" box. That's how I created the following elliptical cone, with a length-width ratio of 0.5. [image: 1775272020099-screenshot-2026-04-03-at-20.06.14.png]

    A rancher dies and leaves everything to his wife. She was a very good-looking woman and determined to keep the ranch, but knew very little about ranching, so she decided to place an ad in the newspaper for a ranch hand. Two cowboys applied for the job. One was gay and the other a drunk. She thought long and hard about it, and when no one else applied she decided to hire the gay guy, figuring it would be safer to have him around the house than the drunk. He proved to be a hard worker who put in long hours every day and knew a lot about ranching. For weeks, the two of them worked, and the ranch was doing very well. Then one day, the rancher's widow said to the hired hand, "You have done a really good job, and the ranch looks great. You should go into town and kick up your heels." The hired hand readily agreed and went into town one Saturday night. One o'clock came, however, and he didn't return. Two o'clock and no hired hand. Finally he returned a round two-thirty, and upon entering the room, he found the rancher's widow sitting by the fireplace with a glass of wine, waiting for him. She quietly called him over to her.. "Unbutton my blouse and take it off," she said. Trembling, he did as she directed. "Now take off my boots." He did as she asked, ever so slowly.. "Now take off my socks." He removed each gently and placed them neatly by her boots. "Now take off my skirt." He slowly unbuttoned it, constantly watching her eyes in the fire light. "Now take off my bra.." Again, with trembling hands, he did as he was told and dropped it to the floor. Then she looked at him and said, "If you ever wear my clothes into town again, you're fired."

    Version 4.4.4 - 04.02.2026 Enabled the following methods within the Medeek Wall API: wall_draw_perim Enabled "profile cutting" of balusters for vertical and OTP handrails. [image: 1775148350791-wall_su1098_800.jpg] https://youtu.be/4TS2-2NIyz4 I'm not sure why I didn't realize I could do this before but I woke up yesterday and I realized that a simple profile could be revolved into the cutting solid (like putting a piece of square stock on a lathe) and then boolean subtracted from the square baluster as shown to give a typical "turned" baluster.

    @Zuzana777 You should select the group containing the guide points, not launch TopoShaper inside the group.

    I've been using blender as a catch all for 3d file formats.. a complicated mesh can get cleaned up in blender or simplified and export as a .dae into SU. I do this with OBJ's all the time
