@chris fullmer said: I'm amazed that you keep coming back to the observer's Thom They have caused you so much pain already. well... that's the part I haven't done yet. there is an issue with the area calculation SU does when you have skewed groups/components. haven't gotten to the part of adding the observers yet. But I dread it. I've yet not dared to go back to DoubleCut.

Yea, template snippets would be nice.

@yaza said: The use of this plugin would unfold the volumes starting from a chosen face or vertex. I only thought of 2 possibles in interpreting your curt question - there IS a third ! Look for Jim's 'unfold' ruby available through links here...

You're my target user, Chris. Hope the link helps.

I think I read threads where users sucessfully moved Podium to the main pluginfolder. But there seem to be mulitple scattered files. I've given Jeff a nudge. I think he'll be able to help when he comes online.

Well, I did indeed play around quite a lot to see what's happening when I am doing this. My approach was to reload the image and then go to top view and toggle undo/redo to see the difference between the B&W and the colour version. To be honest, I didn1t see any difference so I basically trust the method - true that when I go quite close in my area, the imagery is not the best as well as in those rare cases when I use this technique (to paint some small scale, artificial terrain for GE), any subtle difference would be rather unnoticeable.

Just as a note: I had posted the same questions in the SMustard question section. Rick forwarded the question on to Dale Martens who responded back to me. By then I did (with all the suggestions here) have it solved, but I did let him know the methodology used to solve it. Good on them for the response.
