Thanks so much Bob. But it would appear that the drive is black and uncompressed so thtat doesn't seem to be the reason. Anssi, I think you are on to something. I created another user and signed on with that and when I selected a bunch of files and right clicked there was a marked difference in the hesitation time for the context menu to show up. Now I don't really want to use the new user ID because I would have to set up all the program icons all over the palce all over again. But now the question is, what is it in my user profile that is causing the slow down?

Nice work Edson.

ross, your post shows why this is a special place, a place where people care enough for the others (mostly strangers) as to go through the effort of trying to make everyone feel confortable, lurker or not. regards.

Thanks for the reply, Jackson. I am using Vue 6 Esprit - I cannot find anywhere where it defines units - I think that is a limitation of esprit. I've decided to upgrade to the Infinite version (early Christmas present). Besides some extras, it has the option to use imperial units, and to import SU files directly. The problem I had was with some trees purchased through cornucopia3d. They were no where near being close to what they should have been. My logical brain just doesn't understand creating something so far out of scale (and they were SolidGrowth trees, so they had to have used the same program to create them).

Good, he's my special bud.

Maybe it would help if the link to sketchucation went right to the new forums and then had a link to the old forums rather than the other way around. Does that make sense?

It was back up for a minute, but down now again... We are trying to get help from the service provider.

Well, Coen keeps correcting me all the time (though he makes mistakes, too ) And of course at around 3 a.m. my syntax tends to get ununderstandable... BTW that's not exclusively Kiwi though...
