          Thought so! πŸ˜† Gonna give it a whirl now.

                              Tell me how!!! Cryptic! I can do this in Wings but I don't want to. You see from the video just how easy a subdivision in Wings can be!! The only problem is how many iterations before it will import into SU! πŸ˜†

                              This is what I was doing last night. Anyone remember Podium 1.7? πŸ˜„
