Hi Pilou and Jean. Thank you for taking time to respond. I used the Shapebender Tool but it does not fulfill both criteria required.

1. It must maintain 1:200 gradient
2. It must remain 25m below terrain
   In a road example, the road would have a gradient and remain on the mountain surface crossing contours. If I could accomplish the mountain road I could transfer the centre line down to the required depth. The only guidance the road would have is the given contour set and terrain.

Thanks
Garry

Hi
I need help with a ramp. I need to place a ramp (spline) that follows contours but at at a specific gradient below the contours. I guess like a road winding up a valley side. Any solutions to this would be greatly appreciated. Regards

Thanks for the response Pilou. I soldiered on and made use of the section planes and scenes to create a suitable animation. Couple of new problems. the timing of scenes/frames. I would like different timing for different frames. And secondly, when I export the video the quality is very poor. I loaded Keyframe Animation (trial version) but now I have an error message regarding Javascript. So if you have any advice regarding video quality I would appreciate it. Regards

Hi All
Is it possible to do simple animation in SU. I know you can use Proper Animate to move objects. I am looking for a way to make an object "grow" say, in length. My application needs to show underground tunnels being developed in many directions.

Hi

Maybe Im missing something simple. When I make, or try to make, a bolt I get to the stage where I have to orbit to see the reverse side. When I do so I cant get back to bolt maker to select the exit point......
